Pull up a chair, tell me - what's on your mind tonight?

Most of us know that if everyone allows this to take the course it's been running for months with the Congress & the White House, it's going to lead to the health insurance industry coming out smelling like a f*cking rose to investors - meanwhile - the people will be forced to take coverage from these crooked death-panel insurance firms who care nothing about our lives!

I know because I used to work for one when I was young and paid medical claims in the 90's. I remember how harshly the medical review staff was on claims and learned eventually that they were being squeezed by the higher-ups to save $$$. I tried paying everything I could, and only regret not paying for one claim that I still wish I went against the rule on, but point is - these companies only care about profit - not health.

Dr Dean is standing up for the people who are suffering to even get by, and God forbid they have any medical crisis come up. It seems like the lobbyists and big campaign donations have those in Congress & the WH bought & paid for, before we even cast our 'Change' votes.
