What will the Fair Tax do to CPAs?

This is something I am hoping to find out very soon. If anyone sees this and has some thoughts, please share them. I am very curious what some expect will happen to CPAs out there that work for themselves (presumably doing a lot of tax work) when/if the Fair Tax Act passes and the income tax becomes a thing of the past.

Why do insurance/health care companies need to be "for profit" enterprises?

For a while, I have been thinking that capitalism is failing when it comes to health care and insurance needs. If anyone happens to see this and wishes to explain why it is better for these enterprises to be "for profit" (as opposed to non-profit, which does not mean they could not be profitable)? These are not the types of businesses that, in my mind, should be answering to Wall Street analysts.

The world is a horrible place.

Terrible things happen to people for no good reason. It happens day after day. Through no fault of their own, people are injured or killed. There is no good reason for any of it.
