Hi dig,

I agree that we agree. I was just pointing out that the question isn't in question. A minor point against the argument you made which I support.

Thank God, the old insurance model excluding folks from coverage on all sorts of grounds is in rigor mortis.

Now we need bulk-purchasing handled by the US government and the costs will really come under pressure.

Health shouldn't cost more than 15% of GDP, and might be done for 10% if all other countries are a guide.

I was responding circuitously to giving differential access to women based on longevity and emphasizing the reach that such notions would have.

Yes, the Obamacare pre-existing condition rules seem to largely state what the plan is going forward in the US on all of this.

This only flows one way over the long haul and that is towards universal coverage. As the number of "special interests" (e.g. pre-existing, or being a woman, short term-unemployed, student, employer-medicare doughnut hole, etc) stacks up, the argument for collective handling of health care will eventually win the day.
