So what did you think ER MT?

I love these 2 questions asked on the show:  "Do you believe that the child of a gas station attendant and the child of an investment banker deserve the same healthcare?"

and "Should healthcare be a right or a luxury in our country?"

What a great show today!  I LOVE the idea of requiring all the insurance companies to offer the same plan.  Of course, they can offer as many other plans as they like, they just have to offer one that is the same across the board, so that people have a better understanding of what is covered and what is not.  I also liked the idea of making it more black and white.  Insurance policies are SOOO complicated.  We should know what our estimated costs will be if we get cancer or some other illness so that we can prepare accordingly (since many times cost soar above $100,000 even with insurance)!

A lot of food for thought!
