Insurance is No Answer

In todays TownHall Column by John Stossel, Insurance is No Answer, Mr. Stossel put the thoughts of yesterdays blog entry What Reform Could Look Like into much clearer and better words.

"Imagine if you had grocery insurance. You wouldn't care how much food cost. Why shop around? If someone else were paying 80 percent, you'd buy the most expensive cuts of meat. Prices would skyrocket."

"That's what health insurance does to medical care. Patients rarely even ask what anything costs. Doctors often don't know. Often nobody even gives a damn. Patients rarely ask, "Is that MRI really necessary? Is there a cheaper place?" We consume without thinking. "

Please read his article, and then in your own words tell your representatives to end the fascist (govt./big-business conglomerate)control of healtcare and let the people fix it.
