I also think if someone actually asked the people to try and save healthcare costs, ala Victory Gardens, most would do it, especially if they could get paid for it. I'll have to check on people employed, who have no insurance, but that only affects 25% of the outcome, if all were unemployed, which I don't think is the case. |
It's surreal that Americans find it so difficult to implement--and even sometimes to discuss--a perfectly normal public service that every citizen in every other industrialized country and many less developed countries takes for granted.
What's even more bizarre, despite all evidence to the contrary and all their suffering and fears, many Americans think lack of low or no cost universal health care is a good and "American" thing.
Perhaps in some strange and painful way we all deserve what we get.
