In today's column, Jeff Jacoby argues that health care premiums are too low and are unfairly subsidized by private companies that offer said benefits to their employees.
The private citizen should pay more this will lead to more competition and diversity sayeth Jeff with an oracular sneer.
Pay more?
Wow...Like we aren't paying enough already.
This is funny, we don't shell out enough for health insurance, but if Jeff's state income tax went up so much as one red cent this year, you can bet he'd scream like an infant on vaccination day.
Funny how that works eh?
Moreover, if Jeff thinks negotiating one on one with an insurance company for health care coverage is a good thing, then surely he has opted out of the Globe's health benefits plan with his head held high?
At the very least he ought to set an example for the poor pampered troglodytes of Massachusetts and bravely march down to his local Mom-n-Pop Insurance Agency and try to get a better rate than what the Globe offers.
might make for an interesting column.
