Two things today.
1. This column from the NYTimes where two brothers decide not to donate a kidney to their dad lest they be dropped from their own coverage leads to the columnist deciding we MUST pass this health reform bill.
I believe that one of the Republican ideas about health insurance reform is disallowing the dropping of coverage once a condition pops up.
1000 pages of unreadable reform is not the ONLY route for fixing this particular problem.
2. This column about how insurer discrimination is surely going to continue even after reform is pretty clear.
While the author apparently wants to convey that there will be ways to get around the new system, aren’t health insurance companies mean? What I get out of the article is different.
Reform – as it currently stands – will end up destroying private health insurance.
UPDATE: Be sure to read the WSJ John Mackey interview regarding Whole Food’s health insurance ideas.
The Republican Health Plan Card — don’t leave home without it!

Yeah Mike, that’s pretty idiotic and shows you don’t bother even opening your ears to other ideas.
