"For these and a host of other reasons such insurance models have largely died an ignominious and well-deserved death. but their rotting corpses are being raised to life again. The Undead will walk the earth, this time with even greater powers granted them the federal government."

Congress's choice will be to turn the decisions about YOUR health care over to some low level government employee.... who has abslolutely no skin in the game.

No URL, sorry; a close friend emailed it to me. I just now emailed back to see if he has a URL.

Some of the info was familiar from other sources, other times, so I passed it on...
