"Sounds like they need to build a warchest to protect themselves from Obama/Pelosi/Reid, and the trial attorneys. I agree with them, especially if I am a shareholder."

Well, of course! In the USA, shareholders' rights trump citizens' right to healthcare every time.

Thank you, BUSHleague, for unwittingly making the case for the opposition, as if anyone wasn't aware of the primacy and selfishness of the profit motive in the health industry already. It ain't semi-conductors or grocery chains you're invested in, it's people's health. But screw the citizens, just so long as your shareholders' rights are protected.
