I've read a few of these posts, and it seems that a lot of anger is directed towards people who'll directly benefit from the treatment that medical insurance provides. The idea that some sections of the society might get something for free, pisses people off.
I'm an outsider (non-US), so maybe I'm talking bull - but it seems to me that the larger problem is the way the medical and insurance industries operates. They've formed a kind of cartel, one side inflates cost over time and the other accommodates the rise.
I reckon it should be a given that people should be provided with a basic level of healthcare in any country. If a person is severely disadvantaged due to no fault of their own, that disadvantage should be rectified. No health insurance seems like a grave disadvantage - and anyone born into poverty is likely to be placed in this situation by default.
I've been listening to the senate debates on CNN. It sounds like some of your politicians are basically just trying to set sections of society against each other, while the real enemy sits on the sidelines waiting to rake in the money.
Surely the part of the equation that's rotten is the medical/insurance industries? After all, they're also the part that stand to benefit no-matter what.
