Paul Orfalea has a great blog (linked over on the right) and he has a great post about the healthcare questions we aren’t asking.
“How would decisions differ if you, rather than Medicare, had to pay for your 85-year-old father’s hip replacement?

Would you sacrifice your child’s college fund to keep a vegetative parent on a heart-lung machine for weeks or months? Some people really face these choices every day; others don’t have to think twice, because someone else is footing the bill.”
Society sure has changed since Social (in)Security and Medicare have arrived on the scene. Read more of his blog here.
