I can name 3 of my colleagues who don't have it, either. And

Perhaps you are very well off and can write a check for whatever
medical expenses you need. Or perhaps you don't expect to have any
serious health issues.

But for most middle-class Americans, a serious illness or injury to
themselves or a family member could wipe them out financially if they
did not have health insurance. I make a good salary, but I wouldn't
risk my family's well-being by not having health insurance.

By the way, Obama's health plan (unlike Hillary's) is not mandatory,
so you won't have to be part of it if you don't want to be.

You missed the point....Agreeing with your statements above, the
noise is the claim that 47 millions Americans don't have health
insurance and that constitutes a crisis. The fact is, that there are
those who don't have it, and don't want it, rendering that 47
million figure a misrepresentation of the actual issue under
discussion.
