I know many, many people who claim that they cannot afford healthcare. These same people have financed cars, smart phones, cable tv, etc. For most people, it's not a question of being able to afford healthcare, it's a question of prioritization.

I love posters who make sweeping statements like "
most people prioritize cars, phones, etc. over healthcare spending" based upon data from "people they know." In fact I'm even more impressed with "many, many people." If we continue to base our voices and votes on data sampled from a few friends and acquaintances, nothing will ever improve.
