I don't want single payer, but I can't argue with "Do it for everyone, or do it for no one". It's not a right, but WTF? We can't let this current deal or Obama care with all the exemptions being awarded go on. I don't like this subject very much. It seems to me that this could be fixed very easily if all of our reps weren't bought and payed for.

I'll agree that there are whores on both side s of the aisle. I do think that the current bill has allowed too many fingers in the pie, but I think that single payer would eliminate much of that. I also think that eliminating the anti-trust exemption for health care insurers and providers would help level out health care costs. On the other hand, the GOP plan to privatize medicare will have the opposite effect - giving the monopolists another group of victim - er - customers.

Single payer is indeed the only manner in which to enact national healthcare efficiently

Your thoughts mean nothing being a lawyer and all. TORT must happen before anything else.

Isn't that being rather unfair to whores?

Well at least a whore gives you something for your money, in fact she may even give you more than you bargained for.

Merci mon vieux, I recall being in NYC on business during one of those police work-to-rule events back in the seventies, if memory serves. I was at the Hilton on 54th and had gone up the street to Eddie Condon's for a couple of drinks and hopefully some music. On the way back to the hotel this very attractive black girl asked if she could come back to my hotel with me. I said I was afraid not and she asked why so I showed her my wedding ring. She said "But honey, she will never know" to which I replied "No, but I will".

Well next thing I know she is in the revolving door, same section as me, still trying to make a sale. But she stayed in the door and went right back out. Then I spotted one of the Hotel staff, probably the detective, standing there so I asked him "What was that?", pointing over my shoulder. He said "Sir, it is the policy of Hilton Hotels that guests enjoy their stay, and you were obviously not interested." I guess she knew the staff, but it was all rather amusing.

I have generally found that they are very nice and industrious.
