I'm not saying we don't need change and I'm not saying some type of government architected system won't work. I'm saying I'm a skeptic with common sense which means I'm not going to take your word for it when you don't understand the insurance business model and think Micheal is "right" given his subject matter expertise is limited to once having had a splinter removed in the UK.
