Insurance Politics Are A Racket

I toyed with the idea of putting this in the feed several days from now, but you know, this story is so outrageous that I decided to just plop it into the present time in the list.

Here's the story about one woman for whom a trip to the hairdresser was the first step on a road to ruination, financially and emotionally. I couldn't imagine going through what she went through and coming out on the other side a sane person.

It highlights so much of what is wrong with healthcare in the U.S.; the politics, the playing of the system, the bureaucracy, and the black mark that you end up having tattooed to your name for having the audacity to get sick.

What's really sick is the system.

Read the story. It's truly a terrible state that we're in when this is what can happen to any American and underscores the need for medical reform more than ever.
