Are you insured?
Whether you’re the kind of person who goes to the doctor at the first sign of the sniffles, or the type who doesn’t mind stitching himself up after a “fishing mishap,” there’s no denying that health insurance has long been a hot button political and social issue in America. That’s especially true during a presidential campaign…and in the wake of another Michael Moore movie release (“SiCKO”).
According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, 47 million Americans don’t have health insurance, a number that has inflated by two million in the past year.
