For the record, I strongly feel that if someone does not have health care insurance, it's their own fault.
Do you understand the concept of Universal Healthcare?

In most of Europe the people have no medical costs because it is all paid for by the government. They have higher taxes though. There is no need for insurance because medical services and prescriptions are provided by the government for free.
