Florida's Health Insurance Deception

The Florida plan is truly pathetic, and in the case of its preventative-only option, isn't even insurance. But to be fair, Governor Crist did set out some very ambitious cost limits for the program, and got exactly what can be expected when trying to play doctor on the cheap. At least he's proven that there is no such thing as cheap medical insurance that's worth anything.

My worry now is that state agencies currently providing health access for Florida's poor will not start redirecting "qualified buyers" to these new plans. People will die if they do.

Healthcare Insurers Going Kaput?

It is dangerous to keep wounded animals around. They tend to strike out and harm their caregivers.

These wounded animals should be kindly put down ... before they kill anymore of us.
