The problem is in the present there are a whole bunch of folks with diseases and no insurance who will be required to have insurance under Obamacare. Because of astronomical premiums they won't be able to afford it hence that responsibility will fall on others who are already struggling in there own lives.

but that's what i've said already. here in arkansas they have CHIP. it's a state program to provide insurance if your premiums are too high, or you get denied. i have no doubt that other states have the same.

the issue isn't that many people can't afford, for many it's not a priority. then when something happens, they have to pay. you can pay premiums now, or a big bill later. either way, you're going to pay.
the issue for many is that they don't want to get insurance, but don't want a bill either. i find that argument laughable.


our medical industry as a whole needs serious attention. obamacare isn't a solution.
