Tell that to all those who are right now struggling for their lives to pay off a massive medical bill, and all those who are at risk because they can't afford decent coverage.

what no few want to accept (mostly in the US) is that we live in a society driven by excessive consumerism and what is basically a credit economy. people here are retarded with money and it has long since become a cultural phenominon and economic necessity.
its often those same people that can always afford a new cool cell phone, a nice new car, cool clothes, the latest notebooks, the coolest ipods etc etc etc etc.... are also in that group that "can't afford decent health care"
they are in that group because they choose not to. many choose not to provide it for their children.
so its not a black and white case where everyone is struggling to pay for something they view as an absolute necessity but can't afford it.
we live in a society where it also just isn't a big priority until out of the blue, they are sick or injured and then start the complaining.
