the people arguing that there should be free stuff really need to hit rock bottom so that they can learn something new like economics

It's best you don't make comments like these because the are countries where health care and education are integrated into the system the way people want.

Starbucks makes a fortune selling overpriced coffee and the employees aren't making a lot of money. If they paid exceptionally well and gave health benefits, I'd be more impressed. Also, employed people are generally healthy. They can also fire people and pull those benefits.

Now I would like the government to come up with some sort of affordable public healthcare solution, but thus far dems are more talk than viable ideas. The solutions they do suggest are never affordable either which is why no single state has tried it.

On a side note, a vast majority of the country does have healthcare. I'm guessing many who don't have healtcare, don't even bother looking at the Obamacare website. If you're poor (around or under $20K a year) you probably qualify for free healthcare or a big subsidy.

Honestly, many are just ignorant to their options when they may qualify for a low cost healthcare plan. Some people just don't want to pay any premiums even if they're relatively small.
