<< My neighbor, who immigrated from Mexico decades ago, raised four kids and never had health insurance. I can remember his kids being hospitalized a couple of times; he simply paid for it out of pocket. He did well and made good money, but refused to buy insurance because he felt it was a ripoff. About ten years ago, his business fell on hard times and his money situation has been difficult. His wife now has cancer. He's struggling but he's making it. >> You think this supports your argument? It is just plain stupid to raise four kids without health insurance. Some medical operations cost a million dollars. A women who cleans houses said she and her husband are $100,000 in debt because he had a heart attack without insurance.
