Mitt Romney, the Presidential candidate with the news-anchor hair, says hes going to do for the nation what he did for Massachussetts, i.e. solve the health care problem. Only, um, its not so much solving the health care problem so much as it is solving the health insurance problem. Slight difference in terms there. Mitts solution, you see, is to pass laws requiring everyone to buy health insurance. Yes, within a mere four years, the 47 million uninsured Americans will realize their dream of becoming merely underinsured Americans, and will be able to share in that glorious pastime of being given the runaround, and ultimately the shaft, by the corporation to whom theyre paying ridiculous sums of money. Honestly, I dont know about you, but my health insurance is crap. Forcing someone else by law to purchase it would be akin to cruel and unusual punishment.
Agh, just put an end to the private health insurance thing and let the government run the whole shebang already and get it over with. Seriously, the biggest objections I hear to universal health care (aka socialized medicine ) are that its expensive, care options and choices are limited, procedures (especially elective ones) are sometimes denied, and untrained, faceless, compassionless bureaucrats are making life-and-death decisions regarding your health care. Totally unlike the system we have now, of course... Oh, wait...
