I don’t see anyone else here claiming that posters here are trying to justify irresponsible behavior. I certainly saw none of that,only a poster pointing out the reality of the situation.
Allow me to point out that “what you have seen” is tainted because those are the stories that make the press while those that seek little or no help remain for the most part unseen. It’s also not a crime nor does it destroy one’s conservative credentials to need a hand at some point.

For many Americans, the cost of heath care turns out to be much worse than their injuries or their illness. Today’s cost of health care and medical treatment is like being financially gang raped. If ya happen to get ill, and still have have an income, and or still have equity in your home but lack top shelf health insurance, you’re done. You’ll be beat into the ground, financially gang raped, robbed at gun point and likely not survive the stress of the financial tidal wave.

That’s why responsible people BUY health insurance.

You're a little slow huh?

Did ya happen to notice the tens of millions that lost their jobs, careers, businesses, had their hours cut, had their benefits reduced, were forced to go from full time to part time, or had their health care benefits completely slashed and or eliminated due to cost/economy?

The reason medical care is so expensive, is because hospitals can’t turn anyone away, and those who have insurance have to pay for the medical costs of people without insurance, many of whom don’t have insurance because they want to spend the money on other things, so they are freeloading on the responsible people, who buy insurance.

You babble about free loaders yet fail to mention your government is aiding and abetting tens of millions of illegals whom are choking off our hospitals, heath-care and undermining our entire system?

BTW slick, I'm not talking about freeloaders. Read the above again...

You been living in cave?

COBRA is the full cost of what the insurance is costing.

“COBRA is in NY & CT over $1,000 a month.”

I thought 0bozocare had been declared unconstitutional in one or more of the 57 states. What’s up with that?
