Harry Bernstein’s column is very much to the point. The taxes may be lower here than in some European countries, but the cost of health insurance is entirely too high. Either people are not insured or they are paying a fearful price for coverage that is only marginal.

The money spent every year on war or war preparations would go a long way to solve most of our serious social problems.
This would require a total change in outlook by the American people.
