I can't claim to speak for everyone but I think there are many who do

also think there are many who view most of the federal bureauacracy as

want such an organization to be responsible for their health care?

As opposed to bureaucratic corporations that have done a good job of
extracting profit but not so good at delivering health care...? Tough
call. Perhaps they should compete.

Maybe we've been forunate but our health insurance companies have done
a good job for us with only minimal quibbling.

That's just bull****, Wayne. Really. The for-profit health insurance
companies are scalping us every single day. The only thing they care
about is maximizing their profit. It's time to come up with better
solutions.

I'm all for that. But we shouldn't leave the solutions to politicians.
And damn the man in charge who would rubber stamp any crap legislation
just to get his name on it.
