What logic are you ascribing to me? All I said was that the huge amounts of money being made by health insurance companies, and the attendant dividends being paid to their stockholders, is a big part of the equation in terms of why so many are against reform of the insurance end of the health care debate, and that issue not being talked about much at all. Indeed, when Obama spoke to that last night and talked of making sure that insurance companies play fair and square, as opposed to stacking the deck in their favor, denying insurance and/or benefits primarily to enhance their profits, the Republican side of the audience sat in stony silence as all the rest applauded. As was asked earlier by a member of this list, why do people want to support and cheer on a system that is so lopsided and acts so arbitrarily? Why the opposition to ensuring a fair shake for all? The answer is in the money trail, and that was my original point that you seemingly objected to.
