Guest guest Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well, Julius Ceaser's father in law was no help to him at the end. The law is not static, and has changed many times in the history of this country. While it is the law, I agree it doesn't listen to the lamentations of individuals. I'm sure that we will always have insurance companies. They exist within the Medicare system too. I don't believe that investors necessarily need insurance companies in which to invest. There is so much out there in which to invest, I'm sure they'd find something. Even with the insurance companies, they are still using leeches for certain things today. <>Roni Immortality exists!
