I really like the article in this site. To the topic, many people voluntarily apply insurance for losses on cars and their homes, but it is not possible to buy lifetime health insurance which would allow us to predictably pay a bit out of our income as opposed to risking that your life will be shortened from the lack of good care.

I think Isaac Chotiner put it best at TNR's The Plank:

See below for some real polling analysis from Nate, but this Gallup poll, which is being cited by Andrew and others on the web, is so ridiculously worded that people should ignore it completely (after reading this post, of course). The question is as follows:

Which approach should government focus on to fix the economy?

Here are the two possible answers:

1. Take steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans.

2. Take steps to improve overall economic conditions and the job situation.

In other words, should the government fix the economy by:

1. Distributing wealth more evenly

2. Fixing the economy

The results were, not surprisingly, 84%-13%, with option #2 coming out ahead.

This may sound like a silly question, but has it been determined that incomes are more equal in Europe (if they are) because of government actions (by which I mean the social welfare state)? As I understand it, income figures in the US are almost always stated pre-tax, and almost always pre-redistribution payments from the government. If it's the same for European statistics, can what government policies are making pre-government influenced income more equal in Europe than in the US?
