Time to Get Some

Nearly half of the 45 million uninsured Americans could join the ranks of the insured tomorrow. No need to wait for McCain or Obama to implement a plan after taking office in January – their insurance coverage could begin now. How, you ask?

They could go get some. Watch Nick Gillespie’s simple proposal:

Most of the millions of uninsured Americans go without health insurance only because they don’t feel it’s a budgetary priority. And most of those people aren’t one-legged single Katrina victims with 12 kids (or whatever sob story Obama likes to cite at his rallies.) They’re young, healthy people who choose to take calculated risks.

The figures cited in this video don’t lessen the import of American health care reform, but they do offer some worthwhile perspective on the uninsured.
