Feel free to expand in the comments section.

Edit: If you are British, please consider "Health Care" as including the National Health Service (NHS). Basically, what I meant by it was an umbrella definition for some kind of system (whether private or not) that offers you health care.

the funny thing about the people interesting in withholding health care are actually acting AGAINST their own interests both to spite the uninsured others (surely poor black people, mexican immigrants -- in their collective imagination) and also as pawns of greedy insurance companies. not sure what it says about our glorious information age that so many people are willing to unquestioningly swallow the misinformation that is being fed to them in the name of squashing progress towards health insurance that will benefit that country.

Absolutely! It's almost as if our information age is making it clear that information in itself can be quite subjective, not properly digested by some. It's a terrifying conclusion in my opinion because it means people can't be dissuaded, no matter what.
