Health Care in the U.S.

November 9, 2009
By Tom

I can’t believe that this was a battle to begin with. The concept of insurance is about risk equalization, why were insurance companies allowed to cherry-pick only those who were profitable?  That is behaviour I would expect from “the house”  were it a casino. It’s certainly not insurance!

Anyway, it’s good to see the U.S. joining the ranks of civilized societies. Of course I do believe that delivery of services should be run by the lowest bidder, i.e. privatized, just that the pool of customers is not determined by ability to pay.

And with rights comes responsibility. Those who use the E.R. as a primary health provider should be forced to pay the associated costs, they’ll need to learn what the “E” stands for.
