Imagine The DMV Ladies Handling Your Health Insurance Claims

It seems that some in Congress are determined to move the nation toward a single-payer system.
The video below is alarming. Apparently filmed at a gathering to advance socialism in America.

Favorite quote from the video, "I am so confident, in the superiority of a public health care option, that private health care should be worried (about being put out of business)."

After watching this video, I began to identify the tangible government services I receive in exchange for the four months of work I do pro-bono for the government each year. (DMV, post office, police & fire, roads, what else???)

Suffice it to say, that I am uncomfortable with the thought of life or death health care claims being handled by the ladies who processed my license renewal a few weeks ago.

Watch this video.
