Health Insurance

CNN has some ideas on what to do if you have no health insurance and end up sick or injured.

I no longer remember which health care provider was charging people 16% interest if they had to carry a bill for lack of insurance. I'm currently making payments on a bill incurred when I had crappy insurance and am not paying any interest whatsoever. Which is huge.

The Fair Isaac Company wants to have a health care scoring system, similar to the credit report; supposedly providers wouldn't be able to check results before treatment, but it seems like a bad idea. I'm not sure if they're moving forward on it, as it seems designed to eliminate or greatly reduce treatment for the poor or unemployed.
