Health-insurance industry garners badly needed support...

At long last the down-trodden and much maligned health-insurance industry has garnered a badly needed public boost as thousands are expected to show up to express their strong support for the industry's well-intended plans for the continued good health and abundantly available health-care options of millions upon millions of Americans.

It's just so obvious that these fervent insurance-industry supporters are thoroughly satisfied with their health care, pay completely reasonable premiums for it, have absolutely no pre-existing conditions, have never filed a single health-care claim, have never been denied care for anything (grrrr... that darned rationing), and are certain to remain healthy until they suddenly drop dead at a ripe old age.

It's probably just as certain that these same supporters have no aging parents for whom they must care or about whom they must make decisions. That just has to be so great for them.

And it's no doubt just as likely that these very same aging parents will also suddenly (and conveniently) drop dead, requiring no heroic measures, or those pesky, bankruptcy-inducing costs, and causing no frustration or anguish for their surviving children and grandchildren.


Gee... what must it be like to be this thrilled about your health care!?
Probably a lot like those lucky socialists in France, Germany, the UK, and Canada, huh?

Plus, the millions of people who have no health care should feel every bit as lucky, just as satisfied, because they have nothing to worry about, no claims to file, no premiums to pay, no paperwork to submit, and the clear and enthusiastic support of the insurance-industry and its supporters, who so obviously have these uninsured people's best interests at heart.

Happiness loves company. It's a love-fest, I tell ya.
