Uninsured in America
By Michael Lundberg | July 7, 2008
I should’ve just titled this post “How to make yourself really mad in just a couple of minutes,” but I thought that might be just a tad bit too long for a subject. I originally got a link to Freemarket Cure from a close friend who also happens to be a medical doctor. You’ll note that the title of the website in no way gives away their position on American healthcare. Do I detect a slight slant? Ahem. Cough. “Uninsured in America” is a video outlining some of the misconceptions about healthcare in the US. I can’t say that I’ve researched any of the statistics touted at the site or in the video, but the people in the video seem to reflect common opinions and perceptions about healthcare in America - mainly, that someone else should pay for it. It’s hard to tell if the people appearing in the video are actors or random interview subjects, but their nonchalant behavior and comments about healthcare is a little annoying. Especially, if (like me) you actually pay for your healthcare.
Check out the video and make up your own mind before heading to the polls on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 (that is, if you’re in the United States). Enjoy (warning: the video is a little long, but worth it):
