We need to do something about health insurance for all

Broward commissioners have agreed to offer a plan that would help uninsured and underinsured residents buy prescription medicines at a 20 per cent discount. Hallelujah! Wish we had that in Miami-Dade.
Our health system is in shambles, so this is a teeny step forward. I know many, many who are uninsured, some of them twentysomethings in starter jobs that don't offer insurance. They can't afford to even get minimal coverage on their own and are too old to be on their parents' policies. They're banking on youth and good health. Heaven forbid they're in an accident or suddenly infected with something.
