And while the thing is booting up I hear about a local man whose friends are having a fund-raiser so he can have cancer surgery. The reporter says the surgery could cost $100,00. And I thought about how long it takes one of our military vehicles to burn throu that amount of money. Ten minutes, perhaps?

How long is it going to take some of the geniuses who frequent this place to realize that the prime task of a FOR PROFIT insurance company is to look out for their shareholders. And in the process to provide JUST ENOUGH care to keep the proles from taking to the streets with torches and pitchforks.
Why are we still effing around with FOR PROFIT INSURANCE COMPANIES???
Single payer health care.
I have to get ready for work!
