<<<It has been shown repeatedly that most Americans without health care coverage fall into the following groups: transitional (between jogs which provide coverage); young and healthy (won't pay exorbitant rates to subsidize the sick); voluntarily uninsured.>>> Where can you find a breakdown of the 47 million uninsured? <<< Until the percentage of uninsured among the poorest is significantly reduced the issue of increasing limits to cover the middle class should not even be discussed.>>> The very poor have medicaid, ER services, food stamps, homeless shelters, and the kindness of strangers. They don't have much more to lose. They have already lost for the most part their dignity. It is the working poor that can't afford insurance that need help. I admit I don't know how many there are in this category, but my sense is that they number in the millions. All the advanced nations in the world (mostly in Northern Europe and Canada) do a much better job in this area than we do.
