This 60 minute story is a must watch. For those who think that those without insurance are guilty; WAKE UP. For profit insurance companies will find a way to drop you from coverage if you become too expensive.
Worst, if you are ever dropped from a policy, under our current system, you will not be able to ever qualify for insurance again as you now have a preexisting condition.
Our current medical system is immoral and maintained on the false premise that for profit insurance companies are more efficient. This is mathematically impossible. Moreover in practice it is proven fatal.
It is imperative that you contact your congress people and senators and demand a single payer system. If it is not enacted this year, it will unlikely not get enacted as political posturing and grandstanding for the 2010 election will begin. T
Adopting a single payer healthcare system is a choice between life and death. As Americans we must live up to our human values.
