Some conservatives/Republicans are so ignorant about medical insurance.

They are so out of touch with the realities of medical insurance that they don’t realize that these days, more and more employers DON’T offer group medical insurance.

These days, more and more jobs are part-time, no group medical insurance. There are a lot of these part-time jobs in state government as well. State government jobs have changed a lot since the glory days of yesteryear when ALL state government workers had fantastic benefits.

If you have group medical insurance through your employer, you are LUCKY. (You are not “blessed,” as I heard someone say not long ago. You are just LUCKY.)

Oh, and individual insurance is hardly even worth having. I had it for years. Paid close to $300/month in premiums, had a large deductible--$5000—and they never paid for a cotton picking thing.

No-- to the conservatives/Republicans—if someone doesn’t have medical insurance, it’s not “their own fault,” which I’ve heard some say. Nowadays, it’s not just people in low-level jobs that don’t require much education who don’t have medical insurance. It’s also nice, well-spoken, well-educated people who did all the right things—and still don’t have it.

Someday when their siblings, children, or grandchildren don’t have medical insurance, maybe they’ll get it. Maybe.
