Many persons who are eligible for insurance decline because they are (a) young and feel they're invincible and do not need insurance or (b) wealthy and figure they'll pay for whatever care they need. What happened to the days when health insurance was considered to be a "perk" and an incentive to work? Why work when you can get it for free? Health insurance does nothing for the access to health care. A doctor can see only so many patients. Congratulations, now you have insurance, but you still have to wait to see a doctor, unless, of course, you choose to go to urgent care or an emergency room, thus driving up the costs yet again. Let's not forget that those of who purchase insurance are also subsidizing those who do not have insurance. The real solution? Do away with health insurance altogether, and go back to the days of negotiating payment.

Ben did a phenomenal job for the gov. I seriously doubt the "more experienced" press secretary will be an improvement.
