Nobody is without medical insurance in this country....yet. Grief, we even take care of all the illegals flooding our borders. Anyone pushing this message of the "uninsured" is a liar.
Absolutely not true! We have plenty of people who are uninsured. Medicaid has income caps. People who make too much for that and don't have an employer sponsored plan are often uninsured.
But I think it's a stupid question anyway. The question should be how many don't have access to medical CARE.
The answer to that is almost none. Everyone gets care in life threatening circumstances. And many communities (probably should be more, but I don't know since we don't talk about it) have low cost clinics. I know people who could afford insurance if they really had to, but prefer the convenience of walk-in clinics.
Because that's not a crisis, Senator?
It sounds to me like he's saying "Why is he doing what he's doing instead of doing what I think he should be doing?"
