Its the leftists plan to complete power that is at fault. Complete power corrupts completely! Back in the days that health insurance was REAL INSURANCE, premiums were reasonable while they covered catastrophic illness. The little stuff we paid in full. Then the leftists started to ramp up with $-sign eyes - adding bureaucracy and regulation to the first ratchet sprockets, causing complaints. The answer to those complaints was to ease the pain - employers paying some or most of the premium. More regulation and bureaucracy, more programs more co-pays. Now we are at the point, like the Titanic was when the ship was vertical and the bow in the air, with the ultimate solution: government pays the whole thing and its "free" for all. Just great - taxes through the roof, for me, kids, grandkids, to bear a heavy burden, and the only way to maintain costs will be to ration the care.
That was one of the BEST and funniest articles about national healthcare I have ever read !
