And of course we all know that a significant cut of your premium is spent on CEO, advertising, investor profit ... in the private market.

As long as someone else is paiding for our healthcare coverage the system is great. Weather it is Medicare, VA, or Obamacare these cost are being passed onto our children and grandchidren. You know, the "Whimpy Syndrome" paying Thursday for a hamburger today. The problem with healthcare is it is a for profit jugernaut. It is easier and less painful to spend our kids futures.
