There are many more answers to that question than the two presented.

As I've said before....do not ask me how important your well being is to me, ask yourself how important your well being is to you.

There are virtually NO American citizens without access to health care.

i think they should take care of themselves.

if were gonna make sure everyone is healthy regardless, we should be handing out gym memberships to homeless people. maybe some gift cards for bennigans too.

destroy the nanny state.

Most injuries are quite minor and those walk-in clinics are quite affordable.
You have no idea how destitute you have to be to qualify for Medicaid, especially if you have no kids. I'll look it up when I get home today.

I also have a saying bookmarked at home that says "For every complex problem there is a simple and elegant solution that is absolutely wrong". That is what I thinkof this post.

How do you know most injuries are caused by auto accidents or at work? What if you're working on your house and fall off a ladder? (just one example)

My first though is, why DON"T they have insurance?

This question should have asked average working families. Tea baggers expect people to work for ridiculous wages and then pay for healthcare with those wages. These are the same people who say things like America is free and racism is over. No duh!!

First of all, do you work at all? If so, what are your marketable skills that entitle you to more than what your present employer is willing to pay beyond the minimum wage, or whatever you make?

On the other hand, if you are of a professional capacity, what are your credentials to determine what an employer should pay an employee? If so, then, please outline the scale.

Bottom line, do you work? Do you, or have you ever then or now, owned a business and actually given people work and a chance to rise?
