The definition of insanity

Sometimes it takes an outside observer to help you see the forest for the trees. And to provide a clue to the definition of insanity.

For many years, our own Jerome a Paris has written periodically about the French health care system.

When I first came to Daily Kos, an eon ago, it was Jerome a Paris who kept me coming back. In those days, Jerome was writing about his own very ill son. He described how he and his family received healthcare in France. At the time, only one word came to mind reading his harrowing accounts--humane.

This is a humane system, I thought. France is a humane nation.

Our broken heathcare system, is destroying American families. The depravity of for-profit healthcare, is used as a point of reference by citizens of more enlightened nations as a jumping off point to scorn us.
