B) You did not answer my question. You said 50 millions (probably a lot more than 50 million) are very unhappy with their health insurance
Here is another article on the Census Bureau Report - and a further breakdown of the 45.7 million number:
CQ Today - Number of Uninsured in U.S. Increases (http://public.cq.com/docs/cqt/news110-000002575515.html - broken link)
A quote from that article:
In addition, 73.2 percent of the uninsured were U.S. citizens; foreign-born residents were more likely to be uninsured despite their smaller total numbers.
'Foreign-born residents' does not imply illegal immigrant - it contains those here on green cards, H1B and L1 visas...

Sorry - you still did not answer the question - You said 50 million were UNHAPPY with THEIR INSURANCE. I asked for citations on that. You gave me info on those with NO INSURANCE.
If you check further, you will find clarity on the article - undocumented aliens make up some 15% of that number.
This my sister that was paying 800 dollars a month on health insurance. If you think thats not being raped then tell me what is?
How much should she be paying since you have an opinion as to what is too much?
And a 1.25 a pill is "rape"?
Again how much should they be after all associated costs are factored in and a profit is allowed?

No - I do not think $800 is "rape"
