I mean, my health insurance is great and paid in full by my employer, and that's great for me, but a lot of people I know who take care of themselves way better than I do aren't that lucky.
That's their fault. People want health coverage but aren't willing to pay for it. Everyone who whines about lack of coverage could easily make it a priority in their lives and give up some vice or expense that waste their money on and get their own personal health coverage. I know a number of people who have done so, and really it doesn't have to be more complex than giving up cigarettes or sodas or going to movies.
