I met soneone recently who said that people with no healthcare insurance should just go out and buy it. This woman has lots of inherited money.l I told the story of a young couple I know where he is a clerk in a grocery store and she works in a small restaurant. They work hard but get no benefits. Well she said, they should just go out and buy it. How I asked when they dont have two nickels to rub together after they pay the expenses they have to. Well, let them buy care for when they spend a large annual amt. This is ridiculous. It sounded like let them eat cake, from history. How can people be so disconnected from the life of working poor people? And will the govt make employers like that give benefits to there workers? These people need help with the small amts they have to prepay. Forget about it if they had a bill for $5000 and it can happen to easily with medical costs today. Awful..
