Private Sector Is Not The Answer To Everything

I read the article recently about the healthy 2 year old that was denied health insurance because she was below the curve on weight. Her doctor's expert opinion (I'm guessing he is a private sector employee) is that she is a very healthy 2 year old that is below average in weight simply because of genetics.

I bring this up because I constantly hear from the right wingers that we need to rely less government and more on the private sector to solve problems. Well, this is a perfect reason why there should be some sort of government involvement in regards to Health Care. When you have 'for-profit' companies with a monopoly in charge of our health decisions, this is what you get. Medical decisions based solely on profit.

I am a father of 2 small children with another one on the way. My wife and I have worked very hard through life to the point that we live in a great town, can live comfortable on one income and at the same time do the fun stuff in life and save for the future (college, retirement). We have worked hard to reach this point without any government assistance, so we don't believe that government is the answer to all our problems. However, when I see stories like this; A hard working family trying to make a living, only to get "spit in the eyes" by a private sector insurance company, government involvement seems appropriate.
