Reply #3: The insurance companies WILL profit more if the bill doesn't pass and the status quo remains

I think people like Ed are kind of dangerous--a not-very-bright, and a ratings-hungry preacher type selling populist pabulum to his minions. We can see the effects of it here every day, where a misinformed (or intentionally misleading?) rant on Ed leads to sloganeering that facts and rational discussion can not break through. He's an Elmer Gantry type, and I haven't approved of him from the beginning. It's not that his heart isn't in the right place or he's a bad man--I'm sure he's not. But this kind of proselytizing is bad no matter who is doing it.
