Well said.
wrote in message ... I think we are missing the real issue here. It's not whether Capt. Haynes could or should be able to pay for his daughter's treatment. Rather, it is that our broken health insurance system has once again failed to meet reasonable expectations. This sort of catastrophically expensive but nonetheless essential treatment is in fact exactly why we need health insurance. But the scenario here is, tragically, all too common. It wouldn't even make the news if not for Capt. Haynes's (well deserved) fame. The victim, insured through his or her employer, gets too sick to work. Eventually he or she loses insurance coverage and cannot get a new policy that will cover the pre-existing condition. It's win-win for the insurance companies (who help propagate this outrage with massive campaign contributions to corrupt politicians) and lose-lose for working Americans. -- -Elliott Drucker |
