Our view on health care: Public option offers best way to

The fact that 17 cents on every dollar in the American economy goes to health care — far more than in other countries — is the result of many factors. An aging, overweight society. Mindless paperwork. Excessive tests and procedures. Endless litigation. But a larger explanation is the delusion that the health care system is market-based.

With numerous experiments and fresh policy designs the system is gradually becoming market-based.

Victoria: I am scanning wbeistes for current information on Hoodsport Events and anything for us to pass on to visitors, etc. We get mass traffic now that the weather is changing and I want to assure I am aware of community activities. Any further contacts you recommend will help our volunteers. We are open 7 days a week and answer many questions for tourists. Thanks KarenI am currently stuck on questions on fishing areas and rules. The state is generic info but I do have the current fishing guidelines for the State and Park.

Sounds familiar. Being self-employed (as owner of a small buiensss) puts you in the same situation. With the outrageous premiums to cover my family along with the ridiculous co-payment policies, we opted to go the "pay-as-you-go" route rather than the bankruptcy-by-premium route. Granted, we're done having babies and we've been very fortunate health-wise, only having to deal with allergies and asthma.Stories like yours and mine demonstrate why we need Universal Health Care. And as more and more people find themselves in the same situation as more and more buiensss cannot afford to pay health insurance premiums on their employees, Universal Health Care is appearing to be more and more likely in the foreseeable future.Of course, that doesn't help you (or our family) in the here and now. What a wonderful healthcare system we have here in the richest country in the world, huh?
