About 50 million Americans are without healthcare and many of those who do pay exorbitant fees for mediocre care. In part, that’s because employers have been providing health care to employees. Companies get a huge tax break if they do this, but there is no incentive to watch what is spent or to encourage personal responsibility on the part of employees. It’s the typical thought: I don’t care how much it costs because I’m not paying. But as a country we are. That’s why Clark is thrilled that President Bush will address health care in his State of the Union address tonight. We are headed toward socialized medicine and it needs to stop for the well being of the country. Clark would like to see people buying their own health care policies, much like they do with their cars and homes. Then we’d be more careful about what we spend. Employers and government need to stay out of it.
