It's apparent from your comments and the comments of many other's that "insurance" really just means "free" health care. This is the same technique that convinced people to accept seniorfare (social security). They were too proud to accept welfare so FDR told them it was "insurance". Of course, it's never really been insurance.
So let's stop saying "insurance" and just call it what it is: government funded health care.
People without insurance aren't without access to care. My mother had no insurance, but took my brother and me to the doctor whenever we needed it.
It was probably even cheaper that way too. Why give money to an insurance company that will simply take a portion of it for themselves and give remains back to your doctor? Giving it directly to you doctor is less expensive.
And people without insurance aren't all poor.
In fact, the richer you are, the LESS likely it is that you even need insurance.
Insurance isn't there to pay for your health care. You pay that in your premiums. Insurance is there to handle the uncertainty -- not to give you affordable or cheaper care.
Just an observation. It seems to me that the more that govt has involved itself in 'healthcare', the more unavailable and unafordable it has become.
Therefore, we need more govt intervention to solve the problem. yeah... right.
