Hey, Zeke, ever think that no one over 65 with multiple health problems can get insurance? Ever think that people over 65 used to go through their savings with the first serious illness, plunging themselves and a spouse into poverty with nothing to leave ungrateful punks like you? Ever think that health insurance companies collude and never compete?

Zeke is an utter and complete ignoramus.
