A couple of good posts over at Crooks and Liars. First, John Amato on the single payer plan we're not hearing about. Second, Susie Madrak on efforts to kill any real reform.
From my own view, insurance -- the medical industry as a whole -- is a racket at this point. I've had my share of run-ins with insurance (one that still sticks in my mind is the "nurse's panel" suddenly deciding that a bite plate the insurance had covered for years was not "medically necessary"). The idea of having someone you've never seen nor ever had any contact with deciding what treatment you get is not one that sits well with me. And let's face it, health insurance, like journalism, is something that should never become a for-profit endeavor.
