"So long as insurance companies are for profit enterprises, their goal will not be the best health care possible. It will be this -- not paying claims. That is the truth of it, because that is how they profit. For real change, we need better, smarter folks elected to represent OUR interests, not just the lobbyists and insurance companies."

If you follow the link to Digg on this one, the Ayn Randers are out in force. It occurs to me that they represent the only philisophical school on the planet that rejects social justice in any way, shape or form. So, how some of them still delude themselves into thinking they are Christians or Jews or aven secular humanists is amazing.
And on why we don't do something about heathcare (and drug policy and...):
