The Shoemaker and the Pre-Existing Condition

Most of us older folks know the tale of the shoemaker, who was so busy making shoes for others that his own children went shoeless. I was reminded of him when I read this today:

"Kaiser Permanente Chairman and CEO George Halverson says frankly: 'I could not get insurance. I've had heart surgery, and so I am completely uninsurable in the private market. So it's important that I keep my job.' "

No further comment necessary. We need wholesale health care reform, and we need it NOW. Let your representatives know that you won't take no for an answer.
