Reply #2: It would also be nice if the people "in the middle" could get health care

[NMMNG]

People who are rich can get health care no matter what. Either they have it through their jobs or they can buy it with their riches. Most employed upper middle class and middle class people get health care through their employers. The very poor and disabled who qualify for (and receive) government benefits get health care as part of those services.

That leaves the unemployed, underemployed, and employed who do not receive insurance via their employers. These are the people who truly suffer. They go without medical care, without medications and without preventitive care. Only in dire emergencies do they seek care, and then pay exorbitant prices because hospitals, doctors and pharmacies charge higher for unisured patients.

It is criminal how the system works.
