You buy your car insurance, and then you buy your insurance for the guy who is uninsured -- you buy two policies and the other guy buys none. Same for health care -- the uninsured get the most expensive health care in the world -- via the hospital emergency room.

America does not seem to get it -- there is no free lunch. I sometimes wonder if people are actually a bit stupid here, thinking that because they have insurance things are fine, even as healthcare costs threaten to bankrupt whatever is left of our economy in coming years. We have the most expensive and ludicrous health insurance system in the 'developed' world and yet we seem unable to have an intelligent conversation to solve what is really a fairly simple problem.
