One of the animating principles (or should I say ideologies) of the Obama Administration’s health reform effort is the notion that Americans who have health insurance “like their insurance.” To genuinely address the underlying problems in our health care system in ways even the President admits would be the most effective — like having some form of national, tax supported health care system, Obama says repeatedly, would “disrupt” peoples’ health insurance. Well let me tell you from long and hard personal experience and observation, I do not know anyone who “likes” their health insurance because I do not know anyone who likes their health insurer. People like being insured. But they do not like the fact that they are not getting what they paid for. Nor do they like the fact that their health insurance is already being “disrupted’ not by reform efforts but by their health insurance company.
