And yes we all need to be insured. I don't care where it comes from as long as it is effective.
United Airlines pension was considered safe a few years back.
My private IRA and other retirement accounts are quite effective but I'm still required to pay for the social security experiment which is not effective for the younger generation.
It is interesting how we have people on opposite sides of some issues feeling the people on both other sides are clueless.
You are a great and respectful debater but I seem like a lot more personal responsibility and less big government and insurance control of our lives. (I wish gun ownership required a liability policy though, HERE COMES ANOTHER OFF TOPIC DEBATE!)
