Nothing "elitist" about it. I'm merely posting what you have said in the past during our discussions about your 82 Buick.
No because you are "just telling us that's the case" and even if true you'd still be just one example. There are millions of other examples unlike you.
As far as me... just because I've went to school, worked hard all my life, ran small businesses and bettered myself to a point where at 52 I'm doing OK doesn't mean I don't remember starting with nothing.
I remember a time when my first daughter was born being self employed and just starting my first Body Shop not being able to afford heath insurance, being on the WIC program to get free baby formula and even going to a church food bank a couple times...
so you can "can" all your childish goofball rhetoric that you and you alone are the only one who understands economic struggles.
In fact I could even say that I might have never been able to devote myself to building my own business had my family not gotten some help at the start and probably wouldn't be making the 60K-70K per year I make today.
The fact is getting coverage (and you've not posted the plan, just a number)
is only part of the equation. You then have deductibles and co-pays. If you can't afford them on top of the base coverage amount or anyone in the family has a pre-existing condition the base policy is worthless if it's obtainable at all.
We will get to better healthcare as President Obama works with all groups as he is doing as we speak to get us to a better overall healthcare system that is less expensive to everyday hard working Americans!
