p>Though 18,000 Americans without health insurance die each year,
many times more Americans with health insurance die annually. The
prudent course, then, would be NOT to hold insurance. Insurance is
lethal.

I wonder if they consider being kept alive and in a vegetative
state as a good health outcome? I will bet that people who have
auto insurance probably, on the whole, have better looking cars,
especially if the deductible is low. Maybe the auto body guild
ought to get together a study that would keep their people just as
busy as those working in healthcare? If the government was getting
the bill for your auto repair however, you might have to take a lot
of cars to the crusher sooner than the owners wanted to. Of course,
the SUV’s would be the first to go.

Bailout 2008 by David Jeffrey
Like a bloodied warrior,
laying broken and torn.
Like a dying soldier, hopeless and forlorn.
But the blood, it be green,
the color of money.
And the soldier is an economy,
and it is anything but funny.
Broken are it's people and shattered are their dreams.
Thanks to the ultra rich and their full proof schemes.
It is a tragedy with more pain to come.
Finance will be Hell, and their wills will be done.
