I have no cellphone, no cable TV, no pickup truck or SUV. That's a cliche....
I have an 11-year old reliable Honda and no health insurance. Now, where do I fit in your 'scheme' ?

Is there a reason you don't have health insurance you'd like to share with us?

The point is that we are being constantly bashed because some people have no health insurance as though that indicates that they get no health CARE.

Although it can be used as a cliché, these were illustrations of a mis-placed set of priorities in these folk's lives.
The point increasingly is...why bother to take responsibility for yourself if someone else will willingly do so for you?
Oh, and BTW: I couldn't find affordable health insurance, so, when I injured my arm last year, I paid the bill in cash.

Hanson is dead on here. America is full of people with no health insurance who nevertheless receive health care that would be the envy of 99% of humans who ever walked the Earth, and at least 5 billion of the ones who walk it now. Meanwhile, Dem politicians paint a false picture of the situation in order to convince the electorate to give up more of their freedoms. Meanwhile, our coddling of illegals leaves Mexico in continuous corruption mode (why change when the unsatisfied will simply go North?) and swells our country with people who don't belong in our job market or on our welfare rolls. Hanson is objecting to those things, not to you getting medical care.
In a a total free market health care system, you could afford catastrophic insurance and pay for your own minor care, but as long as the Dems keep people like you convinced that criticism of this stupid system is a scheme to shaft the poor, we'll never get there, will we?

as a health insurance agent for the past 24 yrs i can assure you he is not talking about you, but the point i have been arguing (forever)is that the democrats scream that we dont treat people without health coverage, when in fact, we do....
