That was a very logical article that spells out exactly where we are today with "health insurance." Back in the day, (my grand parents and parents) used to die early in life if they had a medical emergency (heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc.) That's just the way it was and society accepted it. I had a heart attack at age 59 and would have died had I not had immediate care. When I saw the medical bill that my military health care paid, it was over $50,000. Since then I have had two other heart issues totaling about $25,000 which my insurance paid. The question we need to ask is how much are we willing to personally pay for life saving health care? This article really makes perfect sense to me. I was in a position to pay those bills if I had to. Many are not.
