All of the hospital and rehab industry in Florida, which are both 
HUGE, is one big insurance game. it would be naive to think that Fla 
has some hyper-compassionate attitude towards any particular 
demographic down here.

Take a look at a seemingly unrelated situation: Quebec, specifically 
Montreal. They had the largest underground telemarketing/grand 
larceny operations in the english-speaking world [in a 
french-speaking province, ironic, eh?]. Yet the companies involved 
were, on the one hand, banned from calling fellow Quebeckers, and, on 
the other hand, tipped-off by 'dirty' [think Serpico, not unwashed] 
RCMP Fraud Division officers, as to how much larceny was 'tolerable'. 
It wasn't until States Attorney's General got the FBI involved, that 
things started to change in Montreal. It was a case of do it to the 
outsiders, fine, just lay off us.... Florida is hardly any different.

I seriously doubt that J. Bush has a clue who Steve jobs is. The bush 
boys are both running on room temperature IQs and neither has had a 
thought that wasn't spoon-fed to them, in their lives.
