"...The truth is that you do not have health insurance, even if you think
you're covered. You have a premium that you pay every month, but that does
not guarantee that you will be covered if you get sick. It does not
guarantee that you can get new coverage if you lose your insurance. It's
more a fantasy of coverage than the actuality. Everyone under 65 assumes
that their insurance will be there for them when they need it, but ask Linda
Peeno -- your insurer makes their money on not being reliable.
And if that doesn't convince you, consider the curious truism that most
people living under a system of guaranteed care really like it and zealously
guard it. There are anecdotal stories, like Harry Shearer's tale of a friend
in America versus a friend in Britain, or veteran Jon Soltz, who sings the
praises of TRICARE and the VA and has voluminous polling and quality studies
to back him up..."
More from John Soltz:

Odd, it looks like Medicare, TRICARE, and the VA all have good marks from
the people in them.
As one who uses both Medicare and the VA, I am happy with
both, which are run by the gov and NOT the insurance companies.
