Care for a Health Care Lottery?

Source of screencap: http://news.bbc.co.uk/…321500.stm



Here's a scary thing--apparently Oregon state government has decided to "help" people who can't afford to pay for health insurance by holding a lottery where the prize is health coverage.



This is HILARIOUS. Seriously. If I had benefits, I would LAUGH MY ASS OFF. Instead, I know it's funny, but I choose not to point and laugh in the mirror.



I also think it's interesting how the British are, essentially, pointing and laughing at us with this article. Why else would a US health care lottery be news in the UK if it wasn't a case of schadenfruede?
