A) Omaha is okay. As is Lincoln—though less okay. I just feel like someone needs to stand up for Nebraska.

The Chronic Disease Industry in America is designed at it’s core to bleed us dry of our hard earned money. Pills and scalpels do not cure chronically unhealthy behavior. I hope the American public quickly realizes that spending...

– Health Insurance Companies Shifting Costs To Protect Profits From New Law (via squashed)
See, this is why HMOs as profit-driven businesses don’t make much sense. Insurance ought to be pooled risk with some administrative charges, not a money-making venture.
