The reason some people can't afford health insurance is because it is so expensive. The reason it is so expensive is because of all the government dollars we have poured into "free" health care in the past 35 years, increasing the demand on health care providers. High demand equals high cost. Another factor is the overwhelming cost of liability insurance as a result of the kinds of lawsuits brought by John Edwards. In the old days, health insurance only covered long term hospitalization. Now it covers everything.
Well, Casloy, if the demand is high, doesn't that mean that most Americans want it? Benjamin Franklin said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Wise words from a wise American. I agree with you about the lawsuit thing. It is something I will think about so thanks.
