The key phrase in Donna Dubinskyās article (āMoney Wonāt Buy You Health Insuranceā) is, āIf we are not going to have universal coverage.ā Any reform that doesnāt offer nonprofit, quality, affordable universal access is inferior and fraught with serious problems, not to mention the complexity and unfairness of for-profit insurance.
Until we reform Medicare and create Medicare for all, including the option to buy private insurance as we do with public and private education, the nation will suffer with the ever-growing injustices of the lack of access to care for more and more Americans, skyrocketing inflation of health care costs and the worst outcomes among all the developed nations on the planet.
