Yes I would. Way before the government I would. That choice is not even close. Oh, and I see you omited Fannie and Freddie.

TomAiello 25 #53 October 30, 2009 QuoteQuoteThe idea that people might actually know what's best for themselves is antiquated, and somehow equates with shamanism? If people knew what is best for them we wouldn't need financial planners, tax consultants, lawyers or family doctors at all. No need for prescriptions, we could just decide for ourselves. Yep. And if people knew what was best for them, there'd be no need for the government to tell us all what to do--wouldn't that be a tragedy?-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd prefer to have each individual in charge of their own healthcare. But, of course, they're too dumb to do that, and need someone to take charge of managing it for them, right?-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
