The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Strangler Lewis]

I think Scaeagles' experience illustrates why everyone needs to be covered. If his father could have put more money into his education or into the economy, I submit that would have been a better outcome than paying it to a doctor or, perhaps more aptly, paying interest to a bank. While I don't think that government can or should create a perfectly level playing field, I think we can try to eradicate differences based on things we have no control over such as race, gender and health.
