I'm A Liberal, and Here's What I Want From My Government

[Yavin4]

Simply put. I want my government to protect me from more powerful forces, both foreign and domestic, than myself. I want my government to protect my physical and economic well being.

For example, let's examine health insurance. Currently, the insurance companies are far more powerful than me. They can deny me coverage entirely, charge me ridiculous rates, ration my health care, and make me pay high deductibles, and there is NOTHING, other than foregoing health insurance entirely, that I can do about it. No other industry has this kind of life and death hold over me. In essence, the health insurance threatens my physical well being. In fact, they are a bigger threat to my life than Al Qaeda.

I want my government to protect me from the health insurance industry by providing me with an option to buy health insurance from the government directly.

I'm thinking of putting part of it in my e-mail signature - may I?
