Too many want health care and have someone else pay for it.
Nothing is free.
We would all like for there to be simple answers and to blame others for problems based on greed, but the truth is that either you self insure or you buy insurance or you HOPE the government will cover you and other people's money doesn't run out.

May I clarify — what is happening now is the case that is about to be heard has the goal of completely dismantling the protection that says insurance companies cannot deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
This is not about people wanting a free ride.
This is about people who want to be able to
buy “a ticket to ride.” ‘Buy’ is the operative word.
We are a nation of amnesiacs. There was a time when people who were trying to buy insurance on the open market — before the pre-existing conditions protection — either could not find coverage — or if they did find it, but needed to use it, they faced loophole after loophole.
We are very close to going back to that but people are not paying attention. The case is circling to land.
There are a lot of hardworking people who stand to lose healthcare coverage — when all they want is to be able to buy decent, affordable health insurance.
At this point, Me, Me, Me and mine have what we need. But I dare to care about those who do not. It is not fair to penalize people for pre-existing conditions by making healthcare practically unavailable to them. In fact, to do that is just plain cruel.
