Health-Care Contrasts, Pt.2 – What is the true health care crises about?

Previous…

The two leading health insurance/care reports have independently concluded that Mr. McCain’s proposal will provide almost no relief in our 45.7 million uninsured crises. The ‘leader’ here tells it all. This statement hasn’t been publicly disputed by either party. So we don’t have to be concerned about who’s right or wrong. The confusion seems to be deciding what the health insurance/care crisis really is. Is it because we already have ‘OK’ health insurance, but it could be better and it costs a little too much?

Or is it because 45.7 have no health insurance; another 27 million have inadequate health insurance which puts many of them in worse shape than those who have none and that 18,000 to 22,000 Americans are dying each year for lack of coverage?

Of the two, which one is the true crises? If we can only understand that simple question and convey it to everyone we know, the truth will no longer be debatable. Only the morality of who cares. On that issue, the “‘Everybody’ thought ‘Somebody’ should do it…” scenarios are healthy coffee-table discussions. In any case, it’s important to understand the seriousness of our health insurance/care crises and what’s to be done about it. For those who relegate the axiom ‘Failing to plan is a plan to fail’ to business meetings, think where we’d be without alarm clocks to start our daily lives.
