140. A lot less of a stretch than this statement.
" smiling at the thought of crossing health care off their list of concerns about this choice, and then never actually performing a job that they make any money from. That result would just make paying for universal health care even more expensive for those of us whom wish we could play guitar or paint for a career but instead faced reality and went into a field that would provide us a good salary."

Do you really believe there will be a significant amount of people who will do this. This is the same argument Reagun used against the poor.

"And yes, I expect the disabled to work at a job that society puts value on if they are able to do so. I support giving the disabled as much access and support as we can to allow them to do precisely that."

You know very little about the struggles of the disabled. Most of the jobs they can get "that society puts value on" are minimum wage at some box store where they are overworked and treated like shit. Which in a lot of cases causes even more health problems..

You are so worried that a few might get one over on us that you miss the big picture.
Health Care should never be based how much value=money that a person puts into the system.
So if we are a "compassionate people" value=money should never enter into health care.
