I will keep on saying it. You are not a customer, you are a revenue stream. They're customers are their shareholders.

Non-profit mutual health insurance had a noble goal, when it still existed. Today's firms are rapacious vampires, whose blood is rent from misery

Socialism for the wealthy elites and brutal rugged capitalism for the rest of us! Brought to you by both Democrats and Republicans.

I posted last week about my wonderful treatment by Britain’s NHS, while I was a student at Oxford. Said in that post that I have been a believer in the NHS model ever since. Those who whine about ‘socialism’ have no problem with corporate socialism. Remove profit from healthcare.

No shit, that's true of every business. I want the free market running it, not the government. Will you allow your books to be published only by government entities?
