Mr Potter,
Thank you for your efforts and for finally coming 'out of the closet' last year, as it was.
I was deeply touched by your speaking of going to the health care expedition in Virginia, and wit the pictures you took at it.
You spoke of wishing you could take members of congress to one of these so they could get a first hand look at how bad it really is out here. How about this - can you take the lead on bringing one to Washington DC and hold it on the Mall? While making sure congress is in session? They would have no way to say they don't really know what is happening, and maybe we can give people like Dennis Kucinich the backing he needs to start a serious push for universal care from what we now have, which is better but still not what is needed.
Is it possible? Could you be the one to help coordinate it?
Dear Mr. Potter:
I write this comment as a member of AWHLICWUHCS-ARAHCAWTACJ, meaning: Americans Who Have Lived In Countries With Universal Health Care Systems - And Regard American Health Care As Worse Than A Cruel Joke. I was disappointed not to find any executive from this organization named to the NAIC Consumer Liaison Committee.
Our organization wishes to remind you of the 1995 novel by John Grisham entitled "The Rainmaker". Surely, you and everyone reading here has enjoyed reading that book about the health care insurance industry. One of our members who lives in Memphis comes up with the following suggestions. I think she has an excellent proposal.
1. Establish a new television channel called INS-SPAN.
2. Center a podium which contains nothing but a pitcher of water, a glass, and a Large Print copy of THE RAINMAKER.
3. When any health care insurance carrier has been found guilty of law breaking in effort to cheat those persons insured, and by extension the American public, the judicial sentence should oblige the appearance of that firm's CEO at the podium for a minimum of one eight-hour day, time increased by factors of calumny.
4. This CEO will pick up THE RAINMAKER and continue reading the book aloud to the American People from where the last-sentenced s.o.b. left off. If the end of the book is reached, it is started over from the beginning. The audience physically present for the reading should be limited to this executive's immediate family.
Since we have no member on the committee, we ask you to champion this proposal with your colleagues. Thank you. Naturally, we wonder if any of those chosen have lived outside the United States and received health care under a =universal= system, but we do not demand the answer.
