Well said.

US care is expensive due to extremely high medical insurance, and because it’s being given to people who have no right to it.

If we care about the poorest in our society we owe it to them to get rid of the parasitic forces that weigh down the medical system.

North Carolina has a high risk pool for people who are denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions. For example, I am a Type 1 diabetic, if I lose my job, I can still have COBRA for 18 months but it would be triple what I pay now. When COBRA ends I can pursue private insurance but it will be very expensive because of my Type 1 diabetes and automatic high risk designation. The cost would sink me financially. The State of NC has an option for me that can cut my costs significantly through a high risk pool insurance. Some conservatives have eyed this option of offering a high risk pool insurance policy, similar to a group insurance policy. I think the idea is good.
