And what has this have to do with Universal Health Care? Our capitalistic "health care for profit" is a sham. We're being ripped off by the health insurance companies. How many people were denied benefits from UnitedHealth Group while CEO William McGuire was compensated at over $124 million a year and walked away with an over $1 billion golden parachute? He has to be one of the all time great con men ranking right up their with Bernie Madoff. But you guys worship crooks like that because in your world money rules.
