to the other rb: why should it surprise you that your insurance in amurica is tied to your job? the decision that explains that is simple enough: your health is only a system concern to the extent that it impacts upon your status as wage laborer. period. so it's not your health, it's your health insofar as it is of interest to capital. beyond that, you don't matter.

it's a lovely system that the free marketeers defend.
of course, rather than face the facts of the matter, it's easier to blame the uninsured for being uninsured.
personal responsibility applies to other people, and not at all to political choices.
capitalism is nature, like a rock, a firehydrant or a tv set.
