Granted the lawyers are not a charity, they still do not deserve Billions,
nobody does, ever.
The medical profession does deliver service, and certainly deserves to be
paid, but the insurance companies who are taking a large slice do not deserve
a bonanza.
Most civilized countries do not allow a profit to be made on basic health
coverage. We need care, not insurance. Why do we need a middleman to take a
24% administrative bite out of everything?
But we're way OT here. I'm just a little sensitive since I used to work at the
WTC.
