Reply #228: Oh here we go again with the demonizing of the uninsured. We're the new "Welfare Queens".

Yep, we uninsured folks are all young, incredibly healthy, and have buckets of disposable income. We laugh with glee as we refuse to get properly covered, then stick morally responsible paragons like you and your kith and kin with the bills for our martini-sodden snowboarding accidents. Apparently there are so many of us, according to Clinton and her shills like Paul Krugman, that simply coercing us to buy insurance would magically reduce everyone's premiums to nothing.

Yeah right.

Contrary to the Reaganesque characterization of the uninsured that you've bought into, people who don't have health insurance don't have it because they work in shitty low paid jobs with no benefits, are self-employed and can't afford the exhorbitant premiums for an individual policy, or have a "pre-existing" condition.

Don't worry about me going to the emergency room. I'd sooner shoot myself than let sanctimonious jerks like you wag your finger at me. Oh and BTW, I'm sure you've seen Sicko by now so you know that there's no guarantee that the insurance company will pay for your ER visit either.
