Funny, because again, I've not said I've done anything alone. I've posted that I want more control over my own destiny just like other people who currenty *CAN* opt out of paying for SSI.

If they can't why can't I? If there is criteria that allows them to opt out and I meet or exceed that criteria with another package then why can I not have that choice?

re: the FDA, they do some things right just like all people and entities, but I do not put 100% of my faith in them just like I do not put 100% of my faith in the SSI system. I do not see why that is so hard to fathom for you or Willravel.

I acknowledge your points, and respect them as they are. I'm simply asking for ADDITONAL choice whereas Will says simply, "No, you should have no choice but the single one because the government will take care of you just like everyone else."
