That may be true. I know, however, in my circles of

But it's a number that's not reported.

All of your points about those who want health insurance are
valid. And I'm not arguing with any of them. You are correct.

My point is that to claim everyone who is not insured is in
crisis is disingenuous. If not misleading.

You guys must be fabulously wealthy to take a risk like that. A broken
leg can cost five figures these days.
