LAL - Very good post. Unfortunately, you are right. Most of us on this forum are not the norm. We are not typical Americans. We look at the big picture. We take responsibility for our own well being and our own actions. We plan for the future. Because of that, it is often hard for us to understand why everyone doesn't do the same. I've said many times that I can't comprehend why anyone has a balance on their credit card. Why would someone buy something that they know they can't afford? I just don't get it.
Same goes for healthcare. How can someone who can afford coverage go without? How can they be willing to risk their life and the lives of their family by going uninsured? It makes no sense to me.
