What happens when a liberal actually encounters the reality of the healthcare "reforms" they have been pitching to the rest of us? Reality wins - sort of. This article is written by a speechwriter for major Democratic politicians and contrasts the health care she got from her private D.C.-based health carrier versus the non-care she received after a move to the People's Republic of Massachusetts and its reform-style coverage. She now realizes that her private-care coverage was far better than the non-coverage in Massachusetts. Interestingly, although she calls for starting over in healthcare and proceeding slowly and carefully, she still is willing to drink the Kool Aid of a single-payer system like Medicare. Medicare "works" because it has a projected deficit of $1.1 trillion in the 2003-2012 period (Congressional Budget Office) and even so, ask a lot of users and medical providers how well it "works." Far be it for me, though, to dilute her Kool Aid. All we can do is pray that she will complete the rest of her journey to reality.
