Dennis Kucinich, alone among the Demo contenders, wants universal single-payer health care. But even he, it seems, feels that the insurance companies ought to be "bought out" by the taxpayers.
Why? What's to buy? If you condemn somebody's land for a road, I can see it. But the Kucinich scheme is more like compensating TV broadcasters for building the Internet. You compensate people when you take their property, not their customers.
Personally, I can't think of a group I'd sooner see left high and dry than the insurance companies. -- Well, maybe hedge funds. And anybody in the real-estate business.

maybe those pass the buck hives
are as useless as
a super stock jock strap
on a summer knat
but ...
if not
really health providers
they are serious job providers....

and instead
just have uncle
promise
to hire
all their
paper trail brigades directly

nationalize the jobholders
not the stockholdings
put em all on
the gub's single payer payroll
save the jobs directly
"you're all hired "
likely
the set ups that would insue
won't be any the less
" a waste "
and no more redundent
then all these thousands
of
" private university " administrations
we got pepperong the nationscape these days
providing respectible non profit
harm min moderately gainful employment
for an equally
bloated gaggle
of
"nice white shirt folks "
i say we forget any comp
for lost private profit streams
