Are there people out there who WANT health insurance (including public health care)but can't get it? Yes, but not as many as some would have you believe. It isn't 41M as the current popular figure, not even close. More like 8M or even less.<BR/><BR/>Is 8M a big figure? Sure but thats less than 3% of the population. So 97% have access to health care coverage . . . thats significant.<BR/><BR/>The thing I find interesting is that about half the uninsured qualify for taxpayer funded health coverage but dont take advantage of it. I mean, if its "free" (to the recipient at least) why not use it?<BR/><BR/>Some things fry me and this "crisis" is one of them.Bob Vineyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797362875340794937noreply@blogger.com
