    Isn't Harper just so intelligent to want to bring more privatization of our health care. What a genius. **Sarcasm**

    Where do you draw the line with this kind of prejedice?
    Who do you work for? Who does your father work for? On and on. In some instances you can understand the anger, yet the insurance companies and banks need to be cut off at the kneecaps. They are out of control.

    Insurance companies are already controlling the system, it is just going to get worse, workers who are injured now, must see an 'insurance co' doctor to determine if they are disabled...guess what few are even those with broken legs etc.

    I heard about a truck driver who was injured and couldn't hardly walk, so the insurance co doctor said he wasn't disabled, therefore no money, ok. Then he(the doc) wrote to the dept of transportation and said he was unable to drive and had his license revoked...sooooo no future money either....just one sick example....(and I heard it from my doc)

    A corporate society, with corporate ideals and corporate only profits...yes please, how can I serve you??If we don't do something soon we are all going to have to learn the new National Anthem aka corporate theme song.
