“Mean spirited” is just another word for “true”

August 28, 2008 By admin

Nicely done:

There’s an ad running for AARP’s health care initiative, in which a family talks about how they went bankrupt, paying even just the differential between their mother’s insurance coverage, and the cost of her care for a brain tumor.  I don’t doubt that’s true.

Maybe it would be better to have a governmental single-payer system like the UK?  Well, maybe — except the treatment they give for a brain tumor in the UK is steroids and information on how to compose a will.  The AARP family have their wife and mother, and they’re broke; in Britain they wouldn’t be broke, just bereft.
