Reason Magazine’s Video On Affordable Heathcare: The Best Solution Yet – Go Get Some

The real problem in the US isn’t that people can’t afford health insurance, it’s that they choose to spend their money in other ways. Roughly 45% of all uninsured people could afford insurance right now if they wanted it. But it would mean spending less on cigarettes or Friday nights, so they choose not to get it. It’s simple economics, people are using the funds they have and prioritizing what they want. You simply cannot have everything you want.

Politicians aren’t going to get votes if they tell people to change their lifestyle though, so they tell people they’ll solve all their problems for them. This is how politics works, unfortunately, and it’s why we’re in the economic position we’re in today. Think about it, be a Common Sense Investor…and a Common Sense citizen.
