I'm on the same train of thought as you three.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

And ... you're a fucktard,

Actually.... he's not.
Insurance companies are run as a profit business, and they are rated based on what percentage of their premiums are returned as payments. Have you seen AAA-F ratings? Those are a combination of how customer service oriented they are, meaning, how easily a customer can file a claim and be reimbursed, as well as how high their administrative fees are, etc. To receive a triple A rating, a company must have an administrative percentage somewhere in the vicinity or lower than 30%. If they reduced the number of payments they had to make, and did not reduce the premium payments on the same scale, they would begin to run a higher profit percentage and immediately lower their ratings.. Insurance companies don't care how many people are sick, or well, or how many die.. they collect whatever they pay out realized over a 5 year span + administrative fees, and they adjust their premiums accordingly.. They wouldn't care either way if someone could be cured or not from any current illnesses.
Dr's, on the other hand, have a Hippocratic oath to consider..
The only people who stand to win or lose in a cure for cancer are the pharmaceutical companies.. and if you think they don't care either way, you're insane..

Can we leave our past missunderstanding aside?

No, everything you say will be twisted and used against you. All your words have some hidden meaning and if you aren't one of us.... you are one of them.
If you are one of them, we will spend countless hours reading biased (and non-factional) sources for dirt on you... and blame the mainstream media for casting you in a good light.
The saying (If I remember it correctly), beating a horse after its left the stable applies here. Particularly in the politics forum.
