We had foolishly assumed this one could not sink any lower.<br /><br />It might be an apt reflection of the absurd elements of our current health care system were Mr. Verone required to commit a more serious, perhaps violent, crime to obtain adequate medical assistance.<br /><br />It seemed bank robbery would do the trick but, if another episode is required, Mr. Verone might wish to try robbing a mail carrier of some advertising circulars, using an unloaded gun. Federal crimes, probably invoking mandatory sentences.<br /><br />Let us hope the system is improved before Mr. Verone must strike again.Infinonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523717432084762839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430253580669566245.post-38741901302918516312011-06-22T19:13:07.698-04:002011-06-22T19:13:07.698-04:00Infy -

Taxpayers (and there's very little overlap between "corporations/ millionaires" and "taxpayers") are overwhelmed by the costs of prisons and health care.<br /><br />Connect the dots.<br /><br />Let's charge the corporations and the millionaires for our prisons and health care.<br /><br />I bet they figure out ways to drive down the prison population, and to keep people healthy real fast.<br /><br />Win-win.
