A privilege to drive your car? You sir, are a socialist and part
of the downfall of this country.

I have some socialist leanings ( I believe in social security, and
that everyone should be able to afford health care). But the
folks causing the downfall of this great country are the fascists
in this administration who have and are continually tramping on
the constitution.
Everyone has the opportunity to purchase health care just as they
have the opportunity to purchase food, shelter and clothing.

If you feel so strongly about this issue then why don't you set up
a foundation to pay for the health care or health care insurance
costs of those that don't have the money for health care or health
care insurance. Or better yet, why don't you spend your own money
to pay for some one else's health care insurance. Be the example!

Everyone also has the opportunity to purchase an 80 foot yacht.

Tell me what the least expensive family health insurance plan costs
in Rochester NY. At least take a guess.

And don't forget, everyone has the opportunity to buy a Lear Jet.
You make choices every day. Buy the Lear Jet or buy something else. It
is all about the choices you make.

Tell me what the least expensive family health insurance plan costs in
Rochester NY. At least take a guess.

Why?

You made a blanket statement about everyone having an opportunity to buy
health insurance. If a product is not affordable for you, you do NOT have
the opportunity. So, I need to know what number you are imagining in your
head.

Everyone in the US does have the opportunity to buy it. That is a fact.

Why they may opt out is another factor.

There are 4 main reasons why they would decline:

1. It is not within the budget considering more important expenses such
as shelter, food and clothing.
2. It is within the budget but the money is spent on a more extravagant
life style.
3. It is within the budget but who needs it........I am young and
invincible.
4. It is within my budget but based on my income I can self insure and
obsorb any and all costs.

When looking at the number of uninsured.............give me a breakdown of
those 4 categories. Links to factual data are required.

Class dismissed until Monday.

I trust you are working hard on this problem Doug. I will accept the
answers in percentages or number of people.
