Discounted Education and Health Care

I hate to get political on social media. It never makes friends.

Do not call it vouchers.

Maybe call it educational discounts at your local private school if you have the money. But it doesn't work for everyone.  It works only if you have money and can afford the extra expense.

Maybe if you are rich and can afford preventive medicine, health care vouchers will keep money in your pocket. But what about the 70 year old uninsured who just was diagnosed with cancer. What about my parents who would be sent to the private market to find insurance. What about my daughter who no one will insure for her health due to her allergy and asthma history. What about me?

If you don't have the money for education or insurance, well.....vouchers are the new death panel.
