But even then, some people will elect to not have insurance or elect to not save money or choose to live far beyond their means. Then, when the piper needs to be paid, there will be those who whine or moan about how unfair the system is. That's the human condition.


I agree with part of that zip. There are people who make those choices and have only theirselves to blame. My husband and I were not like those people. We have never lived beyond our means. He lost his job through no fault of his own and spent a year working odd jobs, taking temp jobs, selling every prized possession, and even selling his plasma twice a week to keep a roof over our head and the bills paid, but it still wasn't enough. Insurance was a luxury that we couldn't afford. By the way he did get offered a good job, the day after he died. Roll Eyes

Basic medical care isn't a problem; some are not that expensive and the health department is either free or cheep depending on your income. Hospital care is too expensive. For that reason alone I'm getting the kids and myself insurance as soon as possible. I'm not complaining about my life; there are those that are in a lot worse shape than I am and I do see an end to my medical woes.

Seeing how the government winds up making worse everything they try to fix, I'm against Obamacare.
