37. No, 32 million will be required to pay for insurance. Insurance DOES NOT
guarantee acess to health care. I've had the kind of private insurance they (we) will be required to buy; there's a 10-12k deductible before ANY coverage kicks in, and a 20% copay after that. If you're making only 24k per year there's no way in hell that you'll be able to afford your deductible, so you'll end up A0. poorer, and B0. likely to not be able to afford even the basic services and prescriptions that you have now because THAT money will be spent on "insurance" instead!
It is worse than the status quo. It's like trying to end homelessness by requiring everyone to buy a home-and jailing them if they can't afford it.
