		<description>Private Education

With all the shortfalls in education funding why not privatize all of it. Have people buy insurance policies to educate their kids from K to PhD.  The insurance company would set the threshold for issuing the policy. Let’s say a minimum of 100 IQ. If you don’t qualify you don’t get educated. If you can’t afford it or you don’t qualify – you don’t get educated. That’s Dawin’s theory of survival of the fittest. So what if somebody does not get educated. At least they won’t die. There is nothing in the US Constitution that says education is a right and a government responsibility. Everyone for himself; capitalism at its best.
&lt;strong&gt;How would this differ from our current healthcare “system”?&lt;/strong&gt;Any takers?

I thought so. Then go to:
