There's nothing immoral about wanting more of the good stuff. It is
only immoral if you harm someone else to get it. And if you happen to
be building a 2000 person factory in order to make yourself millions,
and happen to create 2000 good-paying jobs for other folk, its even a
good thing. Greed makes the world go 'round every bit as much as love
does.

I don't believe they do. They have to honor what's in their
contracts.

And the current gov't insurance, medicare, refuses payments about 4
times as often as private insurance, and there's nothing you can do
about it (prolly why they can get away with it so much.)

Explain. The way I understand, the "fair" tax is a sales tax. Everyone has
to pay a sales tax, and at the same rate.

It doesn't matter. The insurance companies killed somebody. They're dead.
They can't do anything. And the insurance companies are never charged with
murder. If I kill somebody, I go to prison. If an insurance company
employee kills somebody, they get a raise.

May an insurance company deny you life-saving coverage someday. Then you
might see the error of your ways.

Palin has charisma? Huckabee doesn't? I don't like Huckabee, but he has
charisma in spades.

Then you're wrong. It's a well-known fact that insurance companies have
defacto death panels.
