The Republicans protected
the insurance industry and
the insurance companies
helped their own cause with
the scurrilous "Harry and Louise"
commercials, loaded with lies,
innuendo, and fear.
They fucked Americans thoroughly.
Now, none of the Democrats
have the balls to propose a single
payer government sponsored
health insurance plan.
