The problem is too many irresponsible people getting sick when they can't afford it. If you can't afford a new car you shouldn't buy one. If you can't afford to get sick you shouldn't get sick. The hard truth is many of us must learn to responsibly forgo expensive illnesses.

If you can't afford a heart attack, put it off a few years (ideally until you're 65). If you get sick, get something you can afford like Swine flu (at least for the time being). If you win the lottery then you can have that heart attack or get the pancreatic cancer you've been wanting (proud that you're getting sick responsibly).

Remember, we're not in this "for our health" and we're certainly not in this for your health. As corporations, we don't give a rat's ass about your health. We're in this legal con game to make easy money and to compete with each other for customers and shareholders.

I'll take questions--

Okay, exactly how do you make money and compete with each other for customers and shareholders?
