2. I loved the fact that a former Insurance exec is speaking out

I'm telling you in the future, after a few investigations, this will just like the big tobacco lying to Congress and all of us.

3. treating people in animal stalls - that says it all about the Insurance industry

their system forces people to resort to being treated in a field of scrubbed animal stalls while their corporate executives pull in an averate of $11.7 million dollars A PIECE! Why this is not an ad, I have no idea.
