JNJ: Don't Get Fooled by Dividend Plays

I buy 10,000 calls from you and exercise them
You buy 10,000 calls from me and exercise them
Some poor schlub's retail firm fails to exercise his calls
All exercises and assignments are in a big blender at the OCC
I don't exercise from you directly nor you from me
I skate on paying sclub's dividend
And bingo free money

'Free Market' Healthcare: Fix It Now, Before It's Too Late

Lets see if your retort holds water. The American "private" healthcare system of insurance company / mega healthcare company monopolies is really the greatest in the world. Huh?
Do you believe insurance company profits are reinvested in healthcare?
Do you believe the consolidation of our hospitals and clinics into mega consortiums creates better, more affordable healthcare?
Lets see I guess if you are partially subsidized by your employer you are getting a bargain. Not "wages" but a "healthcare bargain"
Ever deal with insurance companies? At a government office at least you know what to expect. You will still get your drivers license.
The insurance companies will ALWAYS go out of their way to stiff the consumer. Its in their manual. Interesting that the US is the ONLY country in the developed world with a "privatized" healthcare system.
And also has one of the highest rates of infant death per birth.

Gee those mega monopolies are REALLY holding down healthcare costs.
O, by the way, Saddam has weapons of mass destruction to unload.
