Rather than felling acres upon acres of cyber-trees, the above from Michael Ramirez best illustrates the absurdity that we upset the entire health care industry apple cart because of the oft-repeated canard that there are (gasp)….. 47 million uninsured Americans out there.
If we ever get ambitious, we will put together a compilation post regarding “what sucks about Obama-care”. Short of that, here is a good start, titled “5 freedoms you'd lose in health care reform” from CNNMoney.com
Scouring through the 1000+ page House bill, here are just some of the freedoms we will lose:
1. Freedom to choose what’s in your plan
2. Freedom to be rewarded for healthy living, i.e. pay your real cost (a biggie with us)
3. Freedom to choose high-deductible coverage
4. Freedom to keep your existing plan
5. Freedom to choose your doctors
Who are we kidding… those are all biggies with us.
Go ahead and read the article and you will instantaneously be more informed on health care than anyone in Congress.

I gotta say, if you're 18-25 and not married, catastrophic is probably quite good enough-- if you suddenly get cancer or something, you can scrape up 5k. (Me, I was uninsured for about two years, got to catastrophic, and when Elf and I married we put me on full including maternal, for obvious reasons.)
I do kind of wonder how many of the "uninsured" are in the military, too-- technically, active duty guys don't have insurance.... their families have tricare, but not them....
