Why we need health insurance…

If you had any question as to whether you needed health insurance, you should read the Wall Street Journal article, "A Technology Writer Confronts Wizardry In Today's Hospitals," where the writer (a technology writer) describes his sudden 12 day hospital stay and the cost of such a stay -- $125, 000 -- that included up-to-date technology such as the latest CT scanning machines and a blood analyzer to for his daily white-blood cell count.

His procedures were all needed -- but who can afford $125,000 if you don't have health insurance? This is why it is important we all stay on top of the issues being addressed by the presidential candidates --- it is time we provide the 47million uninsured with some insurance.
