This is a greed-corporate-leech activity.<br /><br />The result is increased premiums, unnecessary tests, unneeded costs to me, the consumer.<br /><br />ALL corporate greed should be fought not just those on the DNC accepted hit list.<br /><br />Fight The Man - Question Authority - even if parading in a lawyer-suit.<br /><br />Check out the Green Party web site to see what a liberal looks like.<br /><br />Poking Zealots might not be ethical but it just feels right.
