One other little matter. Mitt was talking about "firing" service providers, not employees. He was talking about having the option of switching out suck medical insurance companies. Yes, he should
not have used the word "fire" in this context, which connotes firing employees, rather than service providers ("terminating" or not renewing a contractual arrangement would be a better manipulation of the connotations attending so many words in the English language, to which one should be sensitive).
But heck, I like to "gloat" about "firing" all the arrogant docs who waste my time, and make me wait too long, never look at my file, and make me go to their office to renew my blood pressure pills, and so forth, even though they are not my "employees." Docs don't intimidate this particular lawyer, and I consider them service providers, just like my gardener and pool man. So I shopped around, until I find docs who play by my rules, not theirs.
In any event, be it a service provider, or employee, if they suck, you get them out of your life - if you can. Does anyone really disagree with that, or is the campaign season, and the partisan juices, just swamping our synapses these days? Just asking.
