Now this is funny. It’s rare that we post something that isn’t Kaiser related, but this extremely humorous political ad for Senator Ron Wyden’s Healthy Americans Act is about universal health care, which we strongly support.
While we would prefer a single-payer universal health care plan that cuts insurance company bureaucracy and greed out of the picture completely, we have our doubts that it is politically possible at this point in time. Wyden’s plan for guaranteed portable insurance coverage for all is a good start because it puts the “free” (as in freedom) back in free market. What universal health care opponents have long refused to acknowledge, is that there is no free market in health care when people are tied to jobs they hate just to keep their health coverage; or when they can’t change plans regardless of how poorly they are treated, because their employer only offers Kaiser.
Our sympathies go out to Kaiser employees everywhere, who not only have to work for a huge, uncaring corporate bureaucracy, but have to receive their health care there too.
