I agree with you on most of it.


But, I have to take exception to one. Health Care. Force companies to become non-profit? What are you smoking?

Insurance, like every other endeavor of human kind, must turn a profit. That profit is then available to be reinvested in the company, to improve service and fund research, but it's simply damned unamerican (Yes, capitalist) to mandate that profitable, private companies stop supplying an optional service because you can't afford it.

It may suck, but there is universal health care. The County Hopsital system will treat any who come. The treatment may not be what you can expect in quality from the Private companies, but thats the reality of a world where I don't feel particularly obligated to give up large chunks of my paycheck so that people who don't make as much as me can enjoy the fruits of my labors.
