Yet another reason why I should not be allowed to follow American news. as someone currently enjoying the benefits of national healthcare, I found this article especially depressing.
for those of you playing at home, allow me to summarize:
Congress: "Gee, specifying exactly how much coverage insurance
companies should provide is hard. if only there was a way that we
could ensure a minimum standard of coverage without actually writing
it in to law."
Republicans: "naw man its cool. just let people figure it out
themselves. insurance cos have their backs."
Dems: "no way, jose. but damn this is getting expensive"
ME: um, hey remember that thing you kicked to the curb? that thing
that could totally solve all of this? I believe it was called the
PUBLIC OPTION. anyone? anyone? ok nevermind. *sigh*
