The crisis isn't people unwilling to pay for health insurance. The crisis is people unable to.
Jesus Christ. I've never seen such a "let them eat cake" sort of argument.

The OP asks 6 questions. Asking questions is elitism? How do you go from questions being asked to having people "crawl into gutters and die"? Questions don't form arguments, stating a position with support does. I am actually seeking support or contrary points for an argument.
You state that it is not true that people are unwilling but that they are unable, do you really think this is true of 27 million Americans? Do you have any support for this?
