The Healthcare Debate

As we go into this Labor Day weekend we're all thinking about the seemingly insurmountable problem that universal access to healthcare seems to be. The rights of the individual versus what's best for the herd. Many are already covered by some form of Federal Insurance (VA, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Military and Federal Employees and Congressional Plans. Why not combine all of these options into a pool and allow some form of subsidized buy in for those without health insurance. Compliments to Senators Snowe and Collins from Maine for their attempts to reach some working compromise to move a solution closer for all of us. Meanwhile we can all do our best to stay healthy and treat problems early on.
