A health care "Wow!"

Just look at this:

One Small Town in America Quietly Enjoys the Health Care We All Dream Of

It's a very short article and it will knock your socks off.

Here's just a little bit:

You see, a vermiculite mine had spread deadly airborne asbestos that killed hundreds and sickened thousands in Libby and northwest Montana.
...
Residents of Libby don't have to be 65 years old or more. They don't have to wait until 2014 for the state exchanges. There's no 10-year roll out for them — it's immediate. They don't have to purchase a plan — this isn't a buy-in to Medicare. It's free. They don't have to be disabled for two years before they apply. They don't have to go without care for three years until Medicaid expands. They don't have to meet income tests. They don't have to apply for a subsidy or pay a fine for failure to buy insurance. They don't have to hope that the market will make a plan affordable or hide their pre-existing conditions. They don't have to find a job that provides coverage.

It is outrageous that, in this country, health care is tied to employment.

It is more than outrageous - it is obscene - that so much of our health care is on a for-profit basis.
