I think the statement of ..." you only deserve it if you can afford it" implies that it has to somehow be earned, and if you don't make enough money to afford healthcare (and you do not have input in setting the price/ goods/ service), you are out of luck. Having said that, I do have "state insurance" as a municipal employee. All was well until cancer, a little over 5 1/2 yrs ago. Chemo and MD Anderson ate and still eats my lunch (had very rare cancer, about 1 in 1.000.000. I am still paying every month, about 23% of my take-home, plus have 10s of thousands not addressed in a payment plan. And relatively, I have god insurance. That is also my share after insurance pays. If it were not for my wife's salary and a small side business , we would be looking at selling assets. So how does someone determine what a person deserves when it comes to insurance? What does someone deserve to make after going to college for 8-10 yrs? What should a drug-maker receive for their invented product? What is fair, what is just, what is too much? I don't have the answer without getting into politics, capitalism, and government involvement. Maybe someone else does.... Ralph in Oklahoma, survivor: 5 yrs, 8 months and zero days.
