I listened to NPR. A sad case indeed. We can never protect everyone all of the time from everything that could happen. Then, you throw in a sleazy insurance company and that makes it double never.
The present system protects most of the people, most of the time, from most of the things that could happen. Is it better to protect all of the people, all of the time from some of the things that can happen? We cannot protect all of the people all of the time from everything that can happen. That's socialized medicine. It does not work. It never has. There is a plan that is used in Massachusetts. It is very expensive but is an improvement. Mitt Romney caught he.. for it. I think it was his baby. Everyone is required to provide proof of acceptable health insurance. If they do not, they must pay into an insurance pool. If you cannot afford health insurance, Massachusetts will provide it. If you can afford it you must have it. This forces the maximum number of people into the insurance pool in order to spread the cost of health care over the largest number of people. I think that is a better way to approach health care than what Obama has in mind.
Boomer. What is your plan?
