Each day, 14,000 people in the U.S. lose health-care coverage. And without reform, those who still have insurance will see their yearly premiums go up continue to spiral upward. Don’t pay attention to the town hall meetings of confused, anti-government individuals. Do they expect private enterprise insurance companies to help people who don’t have any coverage?
