“Our health care system makes no damned sense whatsoever. Not to go all pinko-commie, but with the markets about to go all Black Tuesday on us with the sub-prime and looming Alt-A mess, our never-ending adventure in Iraq sucking hundreds of billions of dollars, the boomers retiring, I simply don’t understand how reasonable and realistic people can assert that we can afford to pay triple what other nations pay for health care. Something is going to have to give…” John Cole (via fuddmain)

i agree that healthcare is messed up. i am pretty lucky, but i still pay over $400 a month and have a large deductible to get through before they pay much of anything. [health insurance is really only useful for catastrophic illnesses and expenses.] i don’t know that universal/socialized healthcare is the answer (maybe) but i know that some kind of change needs to happen - and soon.
