Maybe we don't really NEED all this health care insurance

I hear the cries already, "Heresy! No one can pay those high medical bills without insurance!"

Let me state up front that I am not in favor of abolishing health insurance, but of limiting it to catastrophic health situations, such as surgeries or other expensive procedures. As nurse Kimilee Parker Steinmiller observes in The Nolan Chart website, prescription drugs and office visits are often less expensive when paid for out of pocket. She should know. She is out of work suffering from an injury from an auto accident, her husband is an unemployed mechanic, and her son suffers from a wide range of medical issues.

We can regain our lost freedoms with only a minimum of suffering, but we have to start thinking outside the box our handlers have built around our minds.
