In fact I don't understand why anybody would choose a private corporation, which is accountable to nobody but its investors, over a government-subsidized plan, governments being accountable directly to their citizens and voters. |
That link parallels much of what my Mom who worked and retired from a major national insurance company has been saying all along to us kids. This is a business, your health, your families health and our Nations health.
Nothing personal America, it's just a business. When we bailout insurance giant AIG for $80 billion dollars just a few short months after denying underprivileged children a minuscule $5 billion so they could have health insurance, well it's nothing personal America, it's just business.
Fuck that business, I'll take socialized medicine, anything besides this nightmare.
