If I have a runny nose when I come in from the cold I should immediately
make a doctor's appointment because it might be a deadly form of

Do you have health insurace?

No. Nor do most Americans. Like most, I have a plan for prepayment of
medical expenses, in my case through my employer. If I want to go see a
doctor about that sniffle, the cost to me individually of that particular
visit is extremely small. That's the problem with the system. A system of
insurance, as opposed to tax subsidized prepayment, would, I suggest, do a
great deal toward reducing overall costs of the system.


Ah, so you have a plan, an employer, and a living wage. Unlike people who
are poor and children, you have choices. Not much of humanitarian I take it.
