Unfortunately, Moore is mostly spot-on with his critique of the U.S.
health care system. It's a mess.
Much better than the socialized health care systems, such as in Canada.

Take control of ridiculous lawsuits and jury awards and we can fix it.

Those focusing on the number of uninsured do not consider the decision
to be uninsured is mainly a personal decision based on age (those in
their 20's) or financial ability to cover their own medical costs.

Best deal in Rochester for a single person: $637 per month.



You should work for the DNC.............you quote a figure for the
unemployed or in Burger King jobs.

Try again Doug.

You think young people just out of school make a "personal decision" to
either eat or have health insurance, like they have a choice?



No. They make the decision to put the money to fund their upscale
lifestyle. When you are in your 20's, you think you are invincible and
know everything............thus going uninsured. Put the money saved to
a nicer apartment or nicer car.



You're a little out of touch.


You are both out of touch. Young people in the 20's will pay a lot less
than 600 a month. Unless they get a very low deductible policy. A $2000 a
year policy is probably less than $200 a month for a 24 year old. A $2k
deductible for a 64 year old in good health like me is in the $750 range.
