Healthcare and the Government

This post has a rather interesting analysis of the problems with government-provided health care. As someone who has spent the better part of my life uninsured due to my dad and now my husband working for a small business, there is a certain allure to free healthcare. However, I had never thought about the natural results of that policy. Yuck. I think I'd rather pay out of pocket, and make payments until the end of time if one of us lands in the hospital, just like we had to for Hannah's birth and RSV stay. The cultural changes that might be involved with government healthcare do not outweigh the pain of a lack of insurance.
