Just another straw man argument from a right winger.

Let's see, how many beers would it take to buy individual health insurance for a small family - individual accounts in my state are about 600 a month for a decent policy for 3 people with a 1000 deductible. Assuming they dont smoke and have no pre-existing. It's higher if they want maternity benefits.

How much does a minimum wager or part timer make a month now? Enough to pay rent and buy food for their family AND give the insurance company $600?

So, they have the money to spend on a beer - but they don't have enough money to pay the rent AND buy health insurance.

It's a fake argument.

A right winger makes a clownish video filled with hate and envy for young people, and that's supposed to be a legitimate argument?

Soon enough you'll have your way baddog, and your corporate masters will have passed a law fining those young people for not having health insurance - making the insurance companies even richer, and creating a huge new bureaucracy to federally enforce buying corporate insurance.

Congratulations, baddog, you just made the federal government bigger, and created a whole new class of criminals - folks who can't afford overpriced health insurance.
