If an uninsured driver slams into your car and causes damage, you wouldn't be very happy would you? Likely they were uninsured for a reason - they couldn't afford the insurance. I guess you're fucked, right?
Well, if you just had a stroke or a heart attack, and 5 uninsured people are in front of you at the ER because they couldn't afford healthcare, then guess who loses?
Under the Obama plan, even the poor will be provided with coverage, so they don't wind up in front of you in an emergency.
I personally don't think healthcare should be a privilege at all - it should be a fucking RIGHT in a civilized society, and it should just be another fucking deduction from everyone's paycheck, just like unemployment.
If you disagree, I hope you find yourself in a nice long ER line one day soon!
