American Health Care Has Been Turned Upside Down

Dear Editor,
    Health care in America has been turned upside down: The less you can pay, the more you are charged. More jobs are involved in denying health care than providing it. Premiums soar while coverage shrinks. And every year, less of our insurance premiums actually pay for health care and more pay for executive salaries and other administrative costs.
    “You lie” is not just about another fanatic congressman screaming at the president, but the claim that insurance reform is not in the direct self-interest of many of the frightened protesters, who are shouting “No!” the loudest.
    Unless denying the uninsured the right to buy into Medicare-type public insurance is a “deal breaker,” deep-pocketed insurance giants will win this deal.
