<<<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? I am not entirely sure. It has been published and I have read this many times. It may not be part of the liberal orthodoxy, but that makes it no less true. "nations in the world (mostly in Northern Europe and Canada) do a much better job in this area than we do." I assume you mean rationing medical care. Thanks, I would prefer to pass on rationed care. The idea of having to suck up to a government bureaucrat to ensure that I can have life saving medical care is not one that appeals to me.
