I was just recently watching one of the numerous reports on healthcare in the US. With Healthcare reform high on Obama's list of things to do, its very much in the spotlight. Anyway, the reporter was pointing out that we expect to pay for all sorts of services - plumbers, electricians, landscaper etc etc. Why is it then that we expect health services for free?
Because we wont die without landscapers or plumbers. Maybe if plumber cost $243242343 and the bills were so cryptic that it would take a doctor to understand them, there would be a plumbing insurance also.
