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.

Then why bother? Trading the devil you know for a devil you don't know for
another isn't progress.

Bull****. The GOP has been trying its damndest to make government fail for
at least 40 years if not longer.

HORSE ****.

I used their calculator which indicated I would pay $3000 MORE a year in taxes
under their plan.

That's NOT a "fair tax", that's robbing the poor and giving to the wealthy.
