We hear a lot about the 47 million Americans without health insurance, the ones that get their critical care at the emergency room. Democrats want to cut-and-run with regards to national health care, that is, they want to issue another 47 million laminated cards and call it "Mission Accomplished." But in Michael Moore's movie, "Sicko," we learn that people with insurance are often worse off. They are frequently denied various treatments; more foreboding: private healthcare practices often limit the number of "insured" patients they will take-on (with Medicare/Medicaid leading the list of undesirable insurance) because of the hassle and less-than-reasonable reimbursements. More people on government insurance with less physicians willing to see them doesn't sound "progressive" to me. So, if national insurance isn't the solution, what is?

Michael Moore has never taught anyone anything. But I do agree that sometimes having insurance is a pain in the neck becuase of the limitations to it. Thats why I'm for the states or the federal government creating universal health care.
