3. The money that goes into that is the same money that puts up skyscrapers
in many cities. Why not put that money into paying claims? Maybe it wouldn't have come to this.

5. One of the area's largest health insurers, UPMC, has taken over the former US Steel building
the tallest building in Pittsburgh.

It seems a symbol of the times. That insurance company will not insure me or my family because of preexisting conditions. I guess that's how they can afford one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in town.

'cause "we don't support government-run programs" :spank:

Then if you are so much against them, you should voluntarily sign out of Medicare and go buy your favorite - a bloated private-insurance company coverage.

What? You don't wanna do it? But I thought ... Ooooh, forget about it...
