Keillor is a talented egotist who is infatuated with himself and his intellect. But he utterly misses the point.

I left this comment on the site:

Title: The Aftereffects of Stroke

Mr. Keillor must still be suffering.

He gets world-class care (likely because of his world-class salary), but then has the audacity to suggest that the very system that "fixed him" needs to be fixed?

Because the have-nots exist in this world?

When the have-nots have the creativity, the drive, the ambition, and even the monumental ego (such as Mr. Keillor sports) to gin up a traveling show called "A Prairie Home Companion" which is listened to with enthusiasm by a lot of folk who enjoy his tales of Lake Woebegone, well, perhaps then they can afford the world-class care that Mr. Keillor enjoys.

Until then, there's Medicare. Or Medicaid. Or the local emergency room which, in most cases, is bound to treat those who are sick -- even the illegals who find this country a Mecca because of opportunities that this country has historically offered.
