This is a concept that has eluded the liberal politicians in this country since Roosevelt: Health insurance, home ownership and employment are not rights granted by the US Constitution. The cold, hard fact is that if you want to be insured, if you want a mortgage, if you want a job, then get off your lazy ass and go to work. I agree that we need reform amongst insurers, and by all means there needs to be a serious overhaul on numerous fronts, including SS, MediCare and a more comprehensive plan for the elderly. But the solution is NOT to socialize healthcare or dilute the free market system by having the US Government engage in this as a business venture.
