You are a leftie, and very uninformed lefty at that.

There are very very FEW people who want insurance and do not have insurance.

Every state in the union has an “assigned risk” pool, where insurance can be purchased, or they have mandated “guaranteed issue” rules, with companies that do business in their states, to issue certain policies.

YES, the premiums are expensive -—

But you should understand math, if you truly are an “engineer” -—

Insurance uses the “law of large numbers” and is intended for infrequent, LARGE expenses.

Much of our “uninsured” consists of dead beats who REFUSE to even pay for their company offered group insurance.

Then they get sick.

Then they DEMAND that the rest of us pay for their irresponsible behavior?

NO, I do not think so.

Bad things happen in life.

However, the taxpayers are NOT responsible for those who refused to purchase insurance PRIOR to their needs!

“You are a leftie, and very uninformed lefty at that.”

Charming.

So, since I’m supposedly a leftie, and you didn’t answer my question, then am I to take it that while you opine at someone not paying for insurance, you yourself are not paying the full burden for yours.

If what I am supposing, judging by your knee-jerk hysterical reaction, is true, then you have no real idea what health insurance costs, especially for individual and small business rates, throwing in, perhaps a pre-existing condition.

Now, my brilliant friend, you should realize that the scenario of which I spoke is one which the GOP MUST deal with if they are to have a viable alternative, your hostile ramblings notwithstanding.
