1. And that would be the first step toward REAL health care reform
First, gotta get the vampires out of the equation. The savings would be amazing.

10. Uh, that's the fervent hope of all of us who have been hurt by those bastards
Unfortunately, they'll just evolve and learn to suck the life out of some other industry.

I suggest they insure arms dealers.

12. Actually losing 80 million baby boomer customers to medicare
in the next 15 years would have done considerable damage to for profit private ins corp's and in turn wall street. This bill makes sure that doesn't happen.

16. And there's the real reason we got "insurance reform".
Just like the credit card company protection act and the Wall Street profit guarantee act. It's their money and we will ensure they don't lose any of it.
