What a feckless, empty definition "taking action" is - you posting here was taking an action? Do you mean "pulling the trigger"?

So by your definition, Hitler and Charles Manson were not responsible for murders?

Hitler repeatedly called for the murder/extermination of others, Charles Manson shot someone resulting in their death.

Health insurance is merely a company, sure it is significantly worse and results in significant deaths when compared to a single payer system, however it is a capitalist solution to a capitalist healthcare system. Would you rather health insurance be outlawed with no replacement requiring every patient to pay out of pocket?

Health insurance accomplishes its task of making money precisely because it provides just enough value to the general public to not have riots/political action calling for its destruction.

I really wonder if you are convinced you make compelling arguments? This is mush, congrats.
