This isn’t an unexpected result, given that there are far fewer wealthy people and that they’re far less likely to have to make the difficult financial choice between, say, buying insurance or making the rent.

What's better?

1. Paying to have insurance that has standards
or 2. Having none and ending up needing to sell your house to pay your bills.

We shouldn't even be discussing this as we should have single payer.

We shouldn't even be discussing this as we should have single payer.

But we don't have it.

And the people who can least afford the fine are paying it.

How, by any twisted logic, does that make any sense ?
