Care or Insurance

I may be abusing my Illinoize posting privileges today with two posts in a row, but this column by Madigan on Quick, someone call a doc: It's time to start a conversation about national health care. We should talk health to death, plan it out and then find a way to go for it just muddles an issue and readers deserve better.

There is Health Care. And there is Health Insurance. Madigan mixes it all up. Many with very good insurance get very bad care.

Many 20 and 30 somethings don't need care, and opt out of buying expensive insurance leaving a smaller pool of riskier folks.

We have problems with Care, and we have problems with Insurance. But they're different and require different solutions by different people.

Madigan does a big disservice by not getting the debates off right.

Just had to get that off my chest.

Thanks.
