Would You Trust the Phone Company With Healthcare?

[Stingo]

Why trust private industry with our national healthcare system when we surely can’t trust them with phones or our privacy or even with delivering quality air travel? Why is it, then, that the argument to trust them with our healthcare over the government is such a powerful argument?

1. At least the phone bill makes sense!

Sure beats the hell out of the spaghetti I get from the insurance company!

2. You obviously have a different phone company from me

My cell phone bill runs ten pages with more arcane references than a Form 1040 and a bazillion footnotes, taxes, surcharges and add ons that are either not explained or shown in such fine print that an ant would need bifocals to decipher it. And one call a day is a lot for me.

4. Yes

i want the phone company where you can understand the bill.

3. Read the article

the phone bill might make sense, but not the system where they nearly force upgrades on you at the cost of hundreds per year.

Good old Ma Bell was very dependable.
Now, no. Never.
