Care topic may require some accompanying reference material.
A
surprising number of people, even health care activists, have not found
out that top for-profit insurers have a massive and unacceptable
conflict-of-interest by owning billions of dollars of investments in
not just well-indicted Cigarette Manufacturers, but also in tobacco
pesticides, pesticides in general, military weapons contractors,
mountaintop removal coal mining, and on and on.
So here's some reference material about that---the first two links to material from Physicians for a National Health Program.
The next three are from the SEC---EDGAR database---where one with luck or
research skills can find out where for-profit insurers invest. It's
too bad, maybe tragic, that this incriminating evidence is not used
prominently to remove such insurers from our public health programs

For
good measure, here are some other cartoons on the health care issue.
