   The private insurance companies would rather have the current   
   anti-insurance approach than real insurance.  Real insurance is   
   for the rare events, not the common ones.  The present type of   
   medical insurance might well be the safest and most lucrative for   
   the insuance industy.

   green cheese, if that.
