Horrible Relationships
Tireless universal health-insurance advocate Ezra Klein describes his "horrible relationship" with DVD rental service Netflix:
Matt Yglesias has a quick post on the Netflix movies he rented this weekend. I don't. Because I've had the same three sitting in my drawer for almost two years now. That's literally hundreds of dollars I've donated to Netflix to help subsidize the fees of people who actually use the service. Meanwhile, one of the movies is cracked and I can't find the envelopes for the other two. So I continue my philanthropic donations to the Netflix Fund for the Needy. And every month, I loathe myself just a little bit more.
That's too bad! But isn't this basically same relationship Klein wants lots of young, healthy people to have with health insurance?
