re: "The problem with anecdotal evidence"
Where hospital administrators testified they denied people care because they got BONUSES, and those people DIED. They are testifying now, because they have a "conscience".
I know exactly who Linda Peeno is and what she's been doing for ten years. Do you?
Anecdotal evidence is exactly what I said it was. The fact that you have trouble with your insurance company is unfortunate, but does not, by itself, prove that everybody has such trouble, or that even a large number of people with insurance do.
Like Michael Moore, I could collect and cherry-pick interviews to "prove" any damn thing I pick out of my head.
