Wouldn't the CEO's of health insurance companies that profit from the denial of healthcare benefits and extortionate health insurance premiums to the tune of millions if not billions of dollars be more deserving of the label "parasite"?

Not really, but have a cup of tea, and applaud them for being so much more successful at the American dream than you and I.

WOW! This is a HOT thread, in more ways than one! I'm a "bootstraps" person myself and believe that we have no more rights than we can shake a stick at. In the WISH FOR IDEAL WORLD maybe yeah, but the REAL world???? There are some folks here that I would like to have dinner with (referring to someone's prev post) and one of them is Darren Wright and also Teeituptom. I think they might offer me the unvarnished truth, which I might have to take in small doses, at SEVERAL dinners, with liberal amounts of BOTH coffee AND tea! Now, in my "old age" I am REALLY trying to open myself up to the opinions of others who feel Totally different than me, but the "I got my new Hoveround and it didn't cost me a penny" group? I admit, I struggle with that!
