Changing the subject? If you have an issue with who gets rich off of conversions from non-profit to for profit status, which is a perfectly reasonable concern IMO, then I suggest you direct your concerns to your legislators. But that issue has nothing to do with, and in no way supports your calls for nationalized health care.

Hey I have a great idea. Lets add toll booths to every freeway ramp and convert the interstate system to a for profit corporation!

You don't get out much, do you? They've done that with many roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. -- not to make a profit but just to help offset the costs, for the government's benefit. Even with jacking up the tolls, it's still a loser, though.

Nice try. Not.
