@Mafoo. I don't feel like completely derailing this topic with a debate about classes in America and the lack of opportunities to change them =P

And I guess you just read my post wrong. I meant that a healthcare system cannot be entirely balanced. Either some people are missing out on proper healthcare or some people are paying more than their healthcare is worth to make sure that everybody gets it. One of the two groups, the rich or the poor, is going to have to make a sacrifice.

Being the damned socialist that I am I'm totally for it being the rich =P

Being I was born poor, and I am not now, I find it hard to agree that what I did can't be done. Also, based on how easy it was, I find it hard to understand why it's hard for anyone else. And by easy, I mean it didn't take a lot of intelligence, it just took a crap load of effort. 

Just like digging a ditch is easy, it just takes a lot of work.a

Oh, and being the damned libertarian I am I'm for protecting all Americans rights, not just the poor =P

Well I think its a bit of a hard sell personally that the poor are only poor because they are lazy =O. You seem to be an exception to the rule, somebody who made it through hardwork, and good on you for that you clearly deserve what you have. Some people can't succeed like you despite hard work though.

Its kind of like out of the millions of musicians out there only a few ever become succesful, you are one of those few in this case.

 

Also we simply have a different idea of what constitutes rights, I believe in healthcare as a human right.
