Dear Log,

«One-third of Americans under age 65 did not have health insurance at some point during the past two years, according to a study released today by Families USA. Ray Suarez speaks with Susan Dentzer about the increasing number of uninsured.»

--"PBS News"

Also...

«Hospitals routinely charge uninsured people up to four times as much than patients with coverage, financial experts told lawmakers Thursday.

[...]Hospital executives said the cash crunch would best be solved through universal health care coverage for Americans. An estimated 43 million Americans have no health insurance.»

--"Uninsured Patients Pay Far More for Care"

In the US, being poor makes you a bad person so then you have to pay more when you're sick.


What do *you* do?

As I'm currently looking at health insurance options for the self-employed, I'm curious how/whether you get coverage. Unless that's intruding. :)
