but there has to be a sacrifice somewhere.

There was. The creation of this country. For me, the sacrifice, was the men and woman who fought for the rights we all have.

Those rights, afford us all the ability to advance in this country, and provide for yourself, and your family. Before the united states, the world was a class based world. The poor never had the ability to be more then poor. The rich were rich due to there "birthright", and if you were not born of privilege, you have no avenue to obtain success.

Today, thanks to sacrifice, every American is born with that ability. It now is on each and every one of them to take advantage of it, and provide for themselves.

Health insurance is not something people are entitled to. It's something that must be earned.

In fact, every American covered by healthcare has always had to be earned. We are just arguing over who's responsible for earning it. I say the individual is.
