Back to Healthcare and Insurance:

I listened (while on a long work-related car ride) to a radio program today on the health care debate and a nurse called in to remind folks that healthcare isn't free (nor is the insurance). Since the 1940s so many folks have had their health insurance paid for by their employers...if the employers didn't buy this then either the profits would increase or salaries would (could) increase, or both...but then the employee would need to purchase their own insurance. What many people forget is that one way or the other we are all paying for healthcare already, yet we all need to be more conscious of the responsibilities and costs of healthcare and insurance.

Healthcare and insurance isn't and shouldn't be free.
