so as a result of that informational asymmetry, corporations lauren the business of making profit from selling health insurance are very reluctant to take on individuals at reasonable cost. that is the basic reason why private insurance for individuals is so high. they fear the risk pool of individuals is going to be very tainted and they basically try all the cannot to offer individual coverage. they will only effort at end extortioner rate. the other side of the market there is an issue of moral hazard which is another piece of economic jargon but basically what that means is once you are insured for anything you don't have the incentive to worry about the costs and that is essential to any insurance system. think about health care, once you've paid your health premiums or someone else is paid them for you if it is employer-based, as most of us who are the fortunate ones do we have little incentive to worry about the cost of treatment so if you have a headache and go to the doctor and he says i think it is a migraine, you say it might be brain cancer and why not get a scanner just in

the next call is from phoenix, lorenda on the republican line -- lauren. caller: in response to the win in massachusetts, as far as i think the general position for most people, is that i think independents are speaking out, democrats are looking at things and going, this is not what i want but i think more than anything, the process in which people like what congress and the white house are pushing their agenda, it is not a bad idea but it is not a solidly thought through idea. they are not listening to the people. they need to take a responsible approach and incrementally implementing this is the only thing that makes sense. you cannot take something on that large scale and make it work. it does not work now. and to take that on is unreasonable, irrational, and i really think if they would listen to the people -- it is a democratic house, that is all right, but it has to be somewhat bipartisan because it is affecting everybody. so, they need to lie in up on pushing that agenda and not allowing the voice of the people to be heard. -- they need to lighten
