I've heard Geico now has an even simpler method of buying insurance. In fact, they will soon be changing their popular slogan to: "So Easy Even a Dopey Liberal Can Do It" (joking of course, but not a bad idea)
SOME people might not understand health insurance,
but what about those of us who DO?
Just because someone craps their pants doesn’t mean we all should wear diapers.

" - James Madison - Essay in the National Gazette, December 20, 1792.
