I'm sorry, but what would someone who enjoys the luxury of running to the doctor everytime they get a splinter in their finger know about the poor being unable to get health care? Have you ever seen how they treat you when you show up at the hospital and admit that you don't have insurance? Have you ever had surgery without anesthesia just because the doctor assumed he wasn't going to make any money off of you? Hell, I have problems that have needed fixing for
years that I keep putting off till "someday" when I can afford to have it done right, rather than hold my breath waiting for some MBA at an HMO to approve it.
