This TAL episode features the story of Harriet, a hedgehog with health insurance, who is recovering from surgery to remove cancer. (The above hedgehog is not Harriet but I imagine she’s just as cute.) Harriet is on anti-psychotic medication — not covered by insurance, but her owners certainly don’t want a psychotic hedgehog rolling around the house. One economist interviewed said that pet insurance gives him hope. It’s a model for the way human health insurance ought to be — customers can shop around because it’s not tied to their jobs, and they share more of the cost of procedures and medication so they can help to keep prices down. I just hope my anti-psychotics are covered. I get awfully prickly without them.
