Health Coverage That’s Better than Being Uninsured!

The Medicare people were proud when the AARP reported last January that “for many Americans, Medicare drug plans…can cost less than buying the same drugs across the border [DKo: which is forbidden under the Medicare coverage].” Those results have held up since then.
Was this something to be proud of? Suppose you asked whether an employer’s health insurance coverage was any good, and they said, “Oh yes! In fact, for many people, it’s better than being uninsured!”
