“Someone’s premiums” bought my lunch on gold-rimmed china
|
One dollar of every three we send to our health insurance companies goes to something other than healthcare. Those who struggle to pay high premiums to protect themselves and their children buy corporate jets, skyscraper penthouses, and fine china for insurance executives. Those who won’t, or can’t, often die prematurely.
Should we really have choose between paying for corporate luxury or risking an early death?

See part 1 of the interview here.
Indeed. And we’ll see if our Congressmen and women will use government to further increase corporate profits or to begin to decrease the cost of healthcare to ordinary people. The industry’s spending a million dollars a day. Our only hope is in letters and letters and letters.
There’s link in the right sidebar.
