[A knight without armor]

About the woman in the convenience store-it could be two cartons of cigs and two cases of beer would not pay for her insurance. If she could even get it in the first place. Insurance is extremely high.

I am shocked that you say most are uninsured because they want to be. Maybe you are right. Yesterday someone commented that most are unemployed because they want to be. Maybe it is me that is living in another world.

"unemployed because they want to be"

At 5% unemployment it is (loosely, lol) as if a job seeker is in a foot race with 99 other people and all he/she needs to do is finish not worse than 95th place. At 20% unemployment one need only finish in the top 80. If one doesn't place, they can run the race again and again until they do.

Fat pickings for someone who wants to work.

"Insurance is extremely high."

For a single it is $140.00 per month, which includes prescription drug coverage. That is what my son pays.

The unemployment rate is at 4.7%( where I live it is 3%) if you want to work there is work.
