I can't imagine how awful it is to not have insurance. I can't even imagine. It's enough to make a girl use ALL CAPS.

Richie? Dick?), we HAVE GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE ALREADY. And it worked pretty well, until it got semi-privatized so retirees have to pay 20% of their medical bills, or pay into a private plan out of their social security. But don't worry, the competition between the insurance companies to make the most profit off of the sick and dying is totally awesome and helpful! And actually, Richard (do you go by Rich? Richie?
