So what's a beleaguered American to do? Well, for starters many Americans are dropping their unaffordable for-profit insurance. It's crunch time and for so many, the choice comes down to food on the table, gas to get to work, or the monthly extortion for the health insurance industry. So, many simply drop their junk insurance.
Then what happens? We know that the emergency room is where many Americans receive healthcare. But these uninsured Americans also receive huge bills for utilizing the emergency room as the place to obtain long neglected primary care.
So some are doing the unthinkable and using an assumed name. You know what I say? I say, good for them.
There is only one solution to this national outrage and tragedy. Single payer healthcare. Barack Obama knows this. After the election, I hope he will use his enormous landslide victory to move the American people in this direction. And if he doesn't, we'll show him the way.
