By forcing people to buy insurance, Obama is providing the insurance industry with a *very* profitable gift. People should have the option to buy into Medicare at any age. Medicare for all would reduce the obscene profits, greed, and "death panels" of the insurance industry... http://www.democracynow.org/2010/3/17/rep_alan_graysons_medicare_you_can -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org
