I agree the system is broken, but I don’t agree that “How we get to the point where that no longer happens is non-essential.”

DW is right, a person’s life can change in an instant and I’d like to think we could fix this with the motivation being compassion, but I fear the problem is much bigger than simply putting programs in place.

This man is not so much a victim of a broken healthcare system as a victim of greed and “looking out for number one.”

“If the world was as it should be, maybe I could get some sleep.”

I can say with certainty, however, you did a great job on this.

Great music. Great interview. I would never think of this guy as someone who has a political agenda, just a guy who got screwed by his employer and deserves good health care as much as anyone else.

Thanks for doing this series. It’s an issue that should be important to everyone. The health of a nation’s citizens has far-reaching effects. Disease and poor health will cost us much more down the road if we don’t get a grip on things now. And “selecting” who gets health care and who doesn’t is only going to make matters worse. It’s ridiculous that this debate has become simply a matter of politics to so many people.

Don’t people realize their lives can change in a second? They could be this guy next month, or next week or tomorrow. There but for the grace of God . . .

Thanks, Jared. I’m hoping next week’s will be even better. Now that I know the response to this first one has been pretty good, it’s really motivating me for the next one…
