A Good Point

A reader of Talking Points Memo, after criticizing the current insurance system (mainly the never knowing if you're going to be approved for any health care, regardless of your insurance), makes a very good point:

Denied treatments, rejected claims, endless red tape, a lot of politicians seem to think if everyone buys insurance, the problem will be solved, but that doesn't get to the heart of the issue: That private insurance is an adversarial system designed to limit the amount of care you get and maximize the amount of money that can be extracted from its customers.
