New Missouri Matters member Gregory Phillips weighs in on the healthcare debate on his blog. From Ancient_Warrior’s Ancient_Battles:

“Something the President said in a recent speech has really troubled me for a bit now. The statement was “14,000 Americans a day are losing their health care coverage”. If you look at that statement in a slightly different way it could also be said that “health insurance companies are losing 14,000 paying customers a day”.

My theory is the obvious. That the majority of these 14,000 Americans a day are voluntarily dropping their health care coverage because they can better use the 5,000.00 to 6,000.00 per year to service debt, if not put food on the table. 6,000.00 per year is a 3.00 per hour raise for working families in a very tough economy. Certainly, to me at least, it even seems to make perfect sense for young healthy people.” Read more…
