It makes my skin curl. It’s so un-American, isn’t it? I need to research the subject though, and become armed with a real defense against it. I guess the best defense would be to go on the offensive: coming up with a plan to reform health care without making it universal as provided by the government. Why do employers have to pay for health insurance and not car insurance? Is it because not everyone has a car but everyone has health? Curious. People, at least in some states, are required by law to have car insurance. In fact, they can’t register their car unless they show proof of insurance. It seems that part of the high costs of insurance result from the use of the ER by people who have no insurance. Is there proof of that? If so, maybe everyone should be required to have health insurance. Is that un-American? I don’t know…I’m so torn. There are charities for people with no health insurance, right? If so, I wonder what percentage that covers. What if people could have health insurance and they choose not to? Are there studies of that? So many questions. Here’s an article that I don’t really like, but it’s interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/11/opinion/11krugman.html?ref=opinion.
