   Americans are being farmed by the insurance industry. Soylent Green is people.

   Bravo. This cartoon speaks directly to my own thoughts on this subject. Maybe I’m just an old softy with a terminal case of (gasp!) empathy, but I simply cannot disregard the millions of Americans who work hard and follow all the rules they’re told they need to follow, yet STILL wind up being ruined financially, physically and / or mentally by the types of situations described here.

   Just heard a story (from our traveling teacher/storyteller friend from Tinian) about Chinese medicine, back to about 3000-4000BC; the village doctor got paid as long as you were well. It was a tiny stipend, from everybody in the village. When you got sick, your payment stopped until you were well again.

   Does that strike you as an incentive?

   dsped, pbarnrob, I agree with your comments totally. I went to work as an RN for the commonwealth of Pa. more than 30 years ago to get health coverage that my husband and I could not afford with him working as a self employed farmer. I know a family that is self employed that pays $400 a month for health insurance. How is that affordable?
