Kinda like getting car insurance to cover oil changes, but limiting
coverage to $1000 and getting waxed when your $25,000 car gets
totaled.




20% of employed Americans do not have health insurance.

But they have all sorts of other toys. I know a few myself. Of course,
they have cell phones that cost $60 or more a month, but not
catastrophic health insurance that costs around the same amount.


Many small
employers do not provide any kind of health coverage. Those of us
fortunate to be employed by large organizations may not appreciate
this.

Fortunate? You get a job based on fortunes of life?


That is exactly kind of arrogance that the rest of the world dislikes about
us. Ask any nobel laureate, and they would admit that luck and good fortune
had as much to do with their success as hard work and intelligence. I am
quite well off in life myself, and I have been educated by the best, but I
have never been conceited enough to ignore my good fortunes.



If those people buy insurance, the high premiums will drive them into
bankruptcy with greater certainty than taking a chance without
insurance. Either way they are doomed.

Evidently, you have no clue about various forms of insurance and what
it costs. I won't even mention other aspects, as evidenced by the
previous paragraph, such as maturity.


I will let others decide your comment about maturity. I measure maturity by
how well one can contain himself when faced with opposing views, not by
their political opinions. YMMV
