They get nothing out of pushing through a public health insurance. -- What do you think they get out of it?

Of course.

You keep saying "violent". I listened to the link you made before and don't understand how a public health
option, a voluntary option that is paid for only by the subscribers, is violent. You have to be more specific. It is not forced, it is voluntary.

This reform was requested by the voters. The Iraq war was promoted by a man whose father narrowly escaped a "hit man" sent by Sadaam Hussain, and another man whose former agency went from close to bankruptcy to being very, very well off.
No one is getting any money from anywhere by promoting this health program. In fact, it's probably costing them money.

Your point? You and others have been saying that it's good to be selfish. Now you want me to argue against that?
