I make a feeble attempt to jump into the fray about healthcare. The Supreme Court heard arguments this week on the “Affordable Healthcare Act.”

My current thought is this: It’s like saying “Holy Roman Empire.” It’s a misnomer. The Holy Roman Empire wasn’t Roman, not really “holy”, and not much of an empire either.

The operative word that is deceptive is “affordable.” Even with everyone “in” as the government wants, premiums will still be out of reach for me AND what I could “afford” won’t really be “healthcare.” It will be “avoiding disaster and bankruptcy” insurance.

It’s a pathetic misnomer keeping us from really wanting to SOLVE anything. But the beat goes on.
