Health Insurance For All Was a Good Idea
July 18, 2008 – 11:12 amOh, it was a great idea when it was first launched – health care for everyone in the state of Pennsylvania funded by the tax on tobacco. It could have been the perfect solution for the uninsured and uninsurable. But–and there always seems to be a but – the politicians couldn’t agree with one another (no surprise there) and the whole proposal was tanked.
So there went a proposal that may have kicked the stuffing out of the $30 TRILLION dollar deficit in Medicare. Not the whole deficit, but it would have made sufficient inroads and set such an example for other states, that the idea could have taken right off. Again, the political side of things got in the way of the practical day-to-day business of trying to stay healthy. How ironic that the business of trying to stay healthy funds the political arena and vice versa.
