So if you can't afford insurance, and you can't afford the non-insured rates, do you think it's a general basic human right, in America, to get health care, or not?
Really, that's not the final question we should back into, that's the beginning question: is
everyone in America entitled to health care, or
only those of a certain income level?
That goes to basic beliefs we hold as a society of Americans, as citizens of a great nation. Then work from there.
If the answer is "only those of a certain income level are entitled to health care", then we should determine what income level that is.
Because right now, there are people with very good incomes can't afford insurance or doctors care if they have pre-existing conditions; and people below rather significant income levels can't afford insurance or health care. So right now, even an income cut minimum amount for getting health care doesn't exist.
