Hey, Sam, we agree I guess, because see, I think that govt. should be in healthcare along with capitalism. Kinda like the post office. When I want to get something delivered really really fast and be able to track it every step of the way, I use UPS. When I don't care when it gets there, I use the Post Office. So, if I want to get coverage above and beyond the govt plan, I'll purchase it from another provider. But people who can't afford that extra coverage, won't be SOL, they'll have adequate coverage. Isn't it funny though, that even though the government is in the shipping business, it hasn't run the private companies out of that same market. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
