Yes, yes, yes, and probably not.

We don't know yet exactly what the government plan is going to be, but I don't think it is a big stretch to hope that it isn't going to be paying shareholders out of the money they don't spend on medical costs.

No, they will be paying for it out of our taxes. And if you think this is going to be better I have bridge in Arizona to sell you.

The Federal plan will be paying shareholders? So they'll have both tax funding and investors? Like I said, nobody knows what it will look like at this point, but IMHO that's unlikely.
