Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, October 27, 2009

The insurance industry is sick. After studying the symptoms, we've diagnosed them with "Goldilocks syndrome," named after the little blonde heroine of the popular children's story.

Like her, insurance companies have broken into people's homes but then cherry-picked which customers are "too big" or "too small" to insure, settling on the ones that are "juuust right." The stories have been all over the news over the past few weeks: one baby who was "too big," another toddler who was "too small." But the insurance companies aren't dealing with fictional talking bears. These are real people who need medical coverage.

this company is Golden Rule?

He who has the gold makes the rules.

I'm sure they didn't go out of their way to alleviate anyone of that misinterpretation either. Reminds me of the campaign tactics of somebody.
