Health Care Bankruptcies

In 2005 half of US bankruptcies were filed by working families in the aftermath of major illness or injury, even though three out of four had health insurance at the onset of their physically - and
financially - debilitating situation.   Elizabeth Warren  AARP Bulletin June 2009

    Do you think single payer will even get to the table for discussion. Apparently it was the big push at the Giffords town meeting.

    Not now, but we can hope. Good Comment in the Az Star this morning by an MD supporting single payer. He gave a good explanation in response to the fearful response to "socialized medicine".
    He said that Medicare and/or single payer is socialized insurance where
    the VA system is an example of socialized medicine.
