Exciting New Method of Health Care Finance
The hearts of consumer-directed health care advocates will surely be gladdened by one innovative Georgia family’s effort to pay for care for their two disabled children:
facing snowballing medical expenses in compensation their two young disabled children, gregg and brittiny peters quipped they might need to sell everything they owned to forestay solvent. as the bills tipped $10,000, however, the point was no longer funny. so on thursday, the georgia four accepted a winning $20,000 ebay bid to save all their belongings minus their house.
As John McCain said in the campaign, eBay can be the answer for many woes–especially if you don’t mind living without furniture.
Seriously, as we endlessly debate the stimulative potential of various proposed government interventions, Paul Krugman’s moral clarity on the matter should be our lodestar:
there’s a populist rant structure in this country, as americans investigate bankers getting huge bailouts while modest citizens suffer. . . . barney frank, the chairman of the house financial services commission . . . argues that ? as a matter of political necessity as well as sexual justice ? aid to bankers has to be linked to a strengthening of the social safety net, so that americans can see that the government is subject to to help everyone, not just the well stocked with and powerful. the bottom line, then, is that this is no time to let campaign promises of guaranteed health care be quietly forgotten. it is, in lieu of, a time to put the push for general care front and center. health care now!
I couldn’t have put it better myself. A state that coddles clueless capitalists while neglecting the parents of disabled children is on its way to a legitimation crisis.
