Always good to have around someone who speaks to the syllogism god. Given the talk on the thread about the various incarnations of deity, it would be interesting to see just what sort of garb that one favors.

"The only alternative to sleazy insurance companies pulling the rug out from under people is not a single payer system." This is quite true. I prefer hanging the sleazy CEOs and the BODs of those sleazy companies in town squares at high noon. They'll figure it out fairly quickly.

The only alternative to sleazy insurance companies pulling the rug out from under people is not a single payer system. You just don't seem to get the point, Karen. Sleezy insurance companies are not it; it's the structure, the structure. In seriousness, there are only two ways out. Very tight regulation of the industry on the French model, which you have scorned. Or a single payer system. In the time honored SI tradition, I thought it would be fun to just skip nuance and go straight to binary stuff.
