Health care reform, it’s a no brainier, and it’s called single payer. Why is single payer better than pay-the-insurance-company health care? Simple, insurance company’s “administration expenses†and profits add exorbitant overhead to every bill. Time consuming paper work means additional labor for health care providers and staff. A single payer ...

I try not to hate people. It really is a lot of wasted energy in most cases, but there is one small sector of society that I just can’t seem to find much love for.  I have a hard time seeing that great universal energy flow that ...
