Monopoly

[supergee]

I don't do a Charles Pierce quote every day, but I'm usually tempted. From a discussion of the health insurance racket:

This is what I wonder. How do you sleep at night knowing that you have monopoly control over the health of the people in your region? How do you sleep knowing that you exercise that monopoly power the way every monopoly power always has been exercised?

You probably sleep well knowing your (mental) health will never involve the maintenance of anything as pesky and annoying as a conscience.
