I hear all the stories about all the people who can't get health insurance because their employer doesn't want to eat the cost or how they can't afford it.
When I quit my full-time job 18 months ago, I was worried about replacing my health coverage or spending loads of dough on COBRA.
In about fifteen minutes, I got almost the same coverage with almost the same available doctors for about the same as I was having sucked out of my paycheck, which was only 40% of the total bill—my employer paid the other 60%. I write out a check for $200 every month, and I'm fine with that.
Sure, my story is anecdotal. And I'm sure there are widows with four kids and a PT Wal-Mart gig that can't afford it, but that is just as anecdotal as my account.
Not picking on you... it's just that you seem to have a rational mind and are not thinking in reactionary ways.
So a question... that 45 millions do not have healthcare is ...
1) anecdotal.
2) because they are choosing to buy wine coolers instead.
3) simply their own fault.
