LOL, if someone is truly poor in the US, they get free healthcare. Almost everyone I know and have dealt with who doesn't have heatlh insurance is spending their money elsewhere - nice car, expensive house, going out several times a week, every possible premium cable channel, fancy clothes, etc.

Maybe.... in some instances. In fact the US has one of the worst rates for "inaccessable health care" of any western country. The healthcare system is .. run on greed - from the drug corps downwards.
Your supposition that if someone "doesn't have health insurance" that they are "spending their money elsewhere" is probably correct. They can't afford to eat and cloth their families, and prefer to do that than spend money on an inflated and most probably "limited" health care policy.
The US is the highest debt ridden nation in the world from the govt down to personal finance (tho this "culture" is spreading to other countries).
It's only my - hardly worthwhile,
worth, but I have little doubt the US is the most ripped off nation in the world - a total fantasyland, where kids still go hungry and people die because of lack of healthcare, yet it is proclaimed as some success? It sure is in some areas, - perhaps my "values" are just different
I just don't "value" a load of shit TV channels.
