AAAUUUGGGHHH! Don't even get me started on the defenders of the absolute right to profit where people's lives are at stake! That's what a lot of the fight over insurance is really about, isn't it? Effective health care reform in this country would decrease profits for a lot of people.
(What I really want is single-payer. I know that has problems, but I do believe I'd prefer those problems to the ones we've got. Of course, if we went to single-payer, the abortion issue would be even worse—but I think there's no threat this country will see a single-payer health care system in my lifetime, so I'm not losing sleep over the potential problems.)
