[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4159075, member: 18225"] And that’s a fair distinction. Half of America gets their health insurance through their employer. Maybe they like it, maybe they don’t, but they have it. I think that gets lost in the weeds sometimes, like who is Bernie talking to? If you’re mad poor, you’re on the dole, but if you’re not poor and you make ‘too much’, you’re screwed. A better question is, ‘Why doesn’t everyone in America have basic health insurance?’ The amount of money we spend taking care of the uninsured seems to me a powerful argument for some sort of basic universal coverage. Oh, van-down-by-the-river, you’re showing up now with multiple health issues? Never saw a doctor? Geez, wish we could have seen you earlier, we could have prevented or managed your diabetes. Oh well, now we’ll spend 3800% of what we need to because our government can’t quite get that lobbyist :censored: out of their as [/QUOTE]
