A solution for people without health insurance
Nick Gillespie at
Reason.tv has the solution to the health insurance "problem":
How to Fix America's Health Insurance Crisis
reason.tv�s Nick Gillespie isn�t making a run for the White House, but he knows how to get coverage to at least half of the 45 million Americans who need it. And while Barack Obama and John McCain argue about who�s got the best health care plan, each ignores the simplest solution. Call it the Gillespie Plan: If you want health insurance, get some.
Hat tip to
Carpe Diem.
Mark at Carpe Diem lives in Michigan and offers these numbers:
In Michigan, you can get basic health insurance through Blue Cross starting at $47.14 per month for those 18-30 years old (about the cost of a basic cell phone plan), and starting at $138.54 per month for another plan for individuals under 65 (not too much more than a cable TV plan with premium channels, and less than two cells phones at the monthly average of $77).
