Obscenity

William K. Wolfrum has a wonderful, moving essay about the national sickness that is for-profit health insurance.

All I can say is that I know there is someone driving a new car, paid for by my Mom’s suffering. And that others are living in big houses with obscene bank accounts, all paid for by the sick and dying. It is obscene and inhuman.
