		<description><![CDATA[Previously I explained that health care is available to everyone – there is no health care crisis in this country. Now let’s show why there is no health insurance crisis either, which I can most effectively do by showing that health insurance is affordable to everyone.

In terms of a health insurance crisis, can we agree that folks who currently have coverage aren’t in a crisis? They may think their premium is too high, but it isn’t a crisis, OK? So, let’s look at the uninsured as the crisis.

In 2008 The Los Angeles Times reported the number of people without insurance declined from . . . .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know this is political heresy, but I disagree with either of the two premises of the health care reform debate. Understand the difference between health care and health insurance. The reform debate seems to have blurred those lines, but either way:

    * First, there is no health care crisis in this country
    * Second, there is no health insurance crisis either

These contradict the widely accepted premises behind what you are told by the media, politicians and even AARP, so I understand skepticism. Today, let’s examine the “health care crisis.”

Health care is available – even to the uninsured. . . . ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the last 20 years I have been involved in health insurance, there have been many changes – some have proven to be good, but others have not. Let's start by clearing up some misunderstandings: There is no health care crisis in this country! Let me defend this heretical position.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the Health Care Reform debate rages and Congress inches closer to passing something, now would be a good time to review other areas in which our government has strongly encroached or outright took over. These experiences should tell us something about how likely things will turn out well in the long run.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although there are different policies for homeowners and tenants (renters) and even condominium owners, in the U.S. there are standardized basic forms that insurance companies must use for most homeowner’s insurance (with the exception of Texas, which still makes state unique forms available, too.) This makes comparing coverage offers from different insurance companies somewhat easier if you know which coverage forms they are quoting and what limits/deductibles they include. You also need to know if they have any special endorsements restricting or broadening coverage. For homeowners, policies that include your home and personal property come in three flavors – basic, broad, and special. All three are “package” policies including property coverage and liability coverage. The big difference is in the property coverage.]]></description>
