Doug: Forcing people to buy shitty insurance from private vendors is outrageous. Subsidizing that is also outrageous. Nice if you're an insco, though.

Somebody: The implication of this position is that the 46 million plus uninsured in the U.S. isn't in and of itself a particular travesty, but is morally equivalent to the 58% of Americans who have private insurance either through their job or through the individual market. Or at least is equivalent to the majority of Americans who don't have the unfairly denigrated "Cadillac" plans. It's an interesting point of view, but I daresay the person who contracts leukemia or develops breast cancer might well see a concrete distinction.
