24. They don't get it NOW! Even people who have insurance don't get healthcare when they
need it. Three-quarters of all the medical bill-related bankruptcies last year were for people who HAD HEALTH INSURANCE.

During the high pitch of this whole debate I decided I was finally tired of pointing out to people the difference between having health insurance and getting health care. This system that we have is a complete bloody disaster that works for NO ONE except insurance cartels. Why NOT have everyone cut off their premiums all at once? Is it because the insurance companies might deny them the care that they deny them now?

If there was ever a nothing-to-lose-but-your-chains moment, this is it. Gandhi's fed up with British rule in India. Rosa Parks' feet are tired. What are people so afraid of?
