What bothers me about this whole health care debate is the underlying selfishness that seems to be the basis of opposition to health care reform. It seems to be a case of "I got mine. Tough luck if you don't have yours."
I wonder how the vote might have gone if we were to take away the free health care all of our elected officials have. I wonder how it would have went if a law were passed that required all who have health insurance through their job were required to pay the full premium.
I think I know the answer. I think everyone would know the answer. There would be riots.
The fact of the matter is that all health insurance is currently being subsidized in a variety of ways. The problem is that some people are being subsidized more than others.
