Plague of sock puppets likely being paid by health insurance industry, not HRC [View all]

Based on a conversation I had with an old friend during the 2008 election season I would guess that the plague of sock puppets we are seeing are coming from the same deep pockets that made the 2008 election such an ordeal/farce, the health insurance industry which if current trends continue is likely to make at least $400,000 per person (very conservative estimate) in profit over each of our lifetimes - money which they would not make under single payer which eliminates health insurance.

Note there are a great many misconceptions about health insurance!
