Statements like that bother me. Big joke eh? Nobody likes being poor.
No one is going to become poor just to get "free" health insurance. It
wouldn't make sense.

Call me a bleeding heart liberal or whatever you want, but at least
make a feeble attempt to appear empathetic.


You're wrong on this one Dave. At least down here, there is an entire class
of people who electively remain "poor", in order to enjoy a lifestyle
supported by government programs. Sort of the unintended consequences of
government programs. Regardless, it does exist, and it will continue to
exist.
