Of  the  30 -40 million US uninsured how many are the fast driving drug  
addicts, or  lazy, obese cigarette smokers whom you abhor and how many of  them 
are 
ordinary  folks, the people who are apparently easy for you  to dismiss , the 

working poor, in jobs that need filling but  just don´T get paid very well , 
certainly not enough to part with 1,200 a  month...  maybe the  receptionist 
or the cleaner or the guy in the  parking garage, people who just  do NOT 
appear on your radar because they  do NOT read a novel a week, do NOT  know the 
right people, do NOT belong  to the right organizations, did NOT go to  the best 
schools. Never mind  Dr. Crippens friend but what about the disabled,  the 
folks in the other  car, the unemployed, the unemployable, good cannon  fodder 
but No FREE  LUNCH. Never mind that the free lunches are served up in  corporate 
board  rooms every where, provided by the moms and pops investing in  the 
great  enterprises that won't provide health  insurance

Dr Mattox,
    How about those who have worked all  their lives looking forward to 
retirement with benefits such as medical  insurance only to find that when 
companies go belly up the retirees lose big  time and with small pensions cannot 
afford medical care, and are able only to  barely pay basic living expenses and if 
their pension program is taken over by  government and reductions are adjusted 
they also have to adjust to staying  alive.
    The costs of medical care have soared  over the last few years do to many 
factors when is enough,  enough
