oh, the sophistry. apparently, i'm lazy or uneducated, and possibly a red. good to know. have i mentioned how much i really appriciate your sig line? 'cause i do.
define affordable??? That's what the example of the full time worker was for, to provide a framework for the previous question. Thus, a review, though i hardly think it's necessary. Average (the mean, the midpoint of a sum total, typical or representative), full time (40+ hours of week, 52 weeks/year) worker (person employed by a business, or in entreprenurial enterprise) should be able (imperative affirmative declaration) afford (provide funds necessary, pay for, possess fiscal resources for) health care (the practice of medicine, dentistry, psychology) when necessary (needed, life supporting, required for function or existance).
Evoke sympathy? Only if it needs invoking. As i considered a life in ministry, one of my big obstacles was knowing if i would have enough insurance coverage to have my children see a doctor when they needed to. My salary would be pegged to "similar professions" such as nursing, teaching, or social workers.
Should health care be affordable is not a trick question. I'm trying to elict your philosophy of health care as a good. should it soley be determined by market forces? if a person is without the economic means to procure life saving treatment, should doctors be able to refuse care? should there be a credit card reader in ambulances? does working joe or jane have the means to bring their child to a doctor when they fall ill?
I could keep asking...but you already have the point. if i were you, i wouldn't want to answer that question, either. But it's kind of on the table. So what's your response?
