1. Right . Took the words right out of my

mouth. Why because of the insurance companies. People keep getting sick because their coverage does not adequately cover their illness.

5. Oh, he finally noticed. Now can we have universal health care and get rid of

of pharmaceutical giants and insurance tricksters. It will be much cheaoer as demonstrated by the rest of the world's substantial economies. No more ads and no more lobbying and no more buying politicians by these two corporate monsters!

As the OP said, file this under "no shit, Sherlock". We have to start the transition now to single-payer healthcare.

9. He used the wrong word.

Substitute skyrocketing for rising, that's more accurate.

10. No Shit Sherlock.

I'm trying to figure out how to scrape together enough money for heating fuel for the winter, and the medical bills sitting on my desk right now. I just got done with convoluted explanation from my insurance company about why they didn't cover the charges. I'm out $500 that was supposed to pay to heat the place this winter.
