So please everyone.. if you value mini-zoos and golden parachutes for executives over the life of yourself and your family, vote against a public insurance option. If we can get a health insurance mandate (force you to buy insurance) and no cost control with a public option, then some executives might be able to buy that solid gold train to safari through their backyard mini-zoos.

This video was fantastic. Not only did they break down a complicated issue, it was funny too. I'm not sure where to start. I think it's great that they point out insurance companies don't want competition. When conservatives say free market, they usually aren't talking about competition. They want a market, free from government intervention. A market free for monopolies to occur if they so happen.
