I don't appreciate paying my money, taking food out of my childs mouth for someone else. It's not fair. Life is not fair. I don't ONE child being sick or hurt because I was to cheap to lend a hand.

But you got yours, so screw the rest of the country.

Those who aren't serious talk about magically fixing a problem of for-profit companies, who don't want to cover sick people and actively work to deny reimbursement claims, with the wondrous free market. You may think you have health insurance until you try using it. Um, actually EVERYONE serious about the problem talks about preventive care.

“Help me!”
