Even those "millions" have access to health care. What they don't
have
is
health care insurance and many of them CHOOSE not to.

There's a difference between access to health care and (practical) access
to
health care insurance, particularly for poor or middle income people.

Fact is, the majority of poor people work at
low wage jobs. They are on the battle lines of American commerce, actually
delivering the services or building the widgets at $10 an hour, or often
less.
These jobs rarely include health insurance any more. When you're paying
$1000-1200 a month for a worker's wages, adding 30, 40, 50 percent
to that total to fund health insurance doesn't make economic sense.


Gould, we already know most of the prerecorded responses which will be
forthcoming from Dave, NOYB, etc. For instance, "Well...then 'they' can
better themselves and get higher paying jobs if they don't like the ones
they already have. I picked myself up by my bootstraps!"

Great idea. What if all of "them" get better jobs? Do you suppose NOYB would
mind checking into a hotel with his own toilet cleaning tools?
