You mean right now my adblock could be blocking NON-GOOGLE ads? Inconceivable!

Bear in mind that some of them are actually fronts for the Russian Mafia, or any one of a few other organized crime syndicates.

Good in what way? Good to their employees? I have no way to judge. Good to their customers? Hah. Good to their shareholders? I have no doubt of that.

A company that isn't good to its customers isn't a good company.

It's funny that I hear this from so many 'physicians' online, where they can't be verified. And they ignore the fact that we'll before the ACA premiums and deductibles were going up, AND yearly and lifetime limits were becoming more common. Indeed, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the rate of increase is less now than it was then. But suddenly all the physicians are blaming the ACA for it. I wonder, what were you blaming before, when it was even worse?

(There were a few years in the depths of the recession where the trend wasn't as clear, but that's what you get in a huge recession: weird data.)

I think you misspelled 'moron'.

By the way, although I doubt you'll ever read this, your take on Friedman's 'The World Is Flat' is a joy to me, one which I have probably read two dozen times. I had observed some of Friedman's more egregious dysphonias, but after reading that piece I could never read another Friedman piece with a straight face again, which improved my life and outlook immensely.

Edit: BTW, this is the article in question, for those of you who are in need of a good laugh.
