Diet has nothing to do with class. It's a personal choice. A bushell of apples costs as much as a bag of chips, but if you choose the chips you are making a personal(bad) choice and you have to own it. Saying said person made the choice because of their class is bullshit.

Vicious cycle anyone?
Personally, if I didn't have access to a doctor (i.e. if I couldn't afford one), I'd be damned if I'd do any serious exercise in fear of getting injured or aggravating a latent medical problem. Oh, sure, I'd walk a lot, but I wouldn't lift weights or do intense cardio (which is far more beneficial than walking alone.)
rahl, it is quite possible that premiums will go up, but it's also possible they will remain stable. It's hard to predict. But how many reforms go untouched without refinements? If the system is broken, you fix it. You don't avoid it completely in fear of it not working they way you want it to. Most things worth doing have risks involved.

I agree that things need fixed. This bill doesn't do that, it doesn't address the high cost of care, which in turn will do nothing to the high cost of coverage.
