Our health care system makes no damned sense whatsoever. Not to go all pinko-commie, but with the markets about to go all Black Tuesday on us with the sub-prime and looming Alt-A mess, our never-ending adventure in Iraq sucking hundreds of billions of dollars, the boomers retiring, I simply don’t understand how reasonable and realistic people can assert that we can afford to pay triple what other nations pay for health care. Something is going to have to give, and quite honestly, I find it amazing that the Republican candidates never even talk about the subject other than to scare people with phrases like “socialized medicine” or “Hillarycare.” The Republican attitude towards health care right now isn’t just stupid, it is grossly irresponsible and negligent.
