Does the average American care that nearly 50 million of their fellow citizens lack Health Insurance?



During my all company meeting last week, it was announced that 49 million Americans will lack Health Insurance in 2007. I don't think a single soul in the room even batted an eyelash.

That's 1 in 6 Americans without Health Insurance.

I would like to think that most Americans are aware of this fact. Given that the vast majority of Americans consider themselves "religious", I wonder how they reconcile this. Does this statistic bother them if they are aware of it?

I'll debate the economic merits of health care for all later. What I am interested in right now is whether the average citizen is bothered by this.

I say the average citizen better soon be concerned about the alarming statistics. They can be selfish & say that they're only concerned with their own family but then b*tch about sky-rocketing insurance premiums...some currently insured eventually won't be able to afford the luxury. Aren't people aware that when the uninsured are forced into an emergency room situation & can't pay for it - it's them, the insured, who eventually pay for it anyway with higher medical fees.

"Religious" americans who aren't concerned about the poor & less fortunate are selfish hipocrites IMHO.
Welcome to the hood life.
No, life is so stressfull for most people they only worry about self and children
Are you willing to be taxed to pay for insurance?

I have a solution.Have the US government recall ALL debts owed to it by foreign countries,WITH interest to pay for a national health care program.How's that sound?
Yes, I am. Add to that the "scare or believe" tactic about Medicare. I have mine, but will anyone have it in the future? I resolve the issue by telling myself that I can live in fear or just live. I choose the latter.
No not really, I do care that I and my children have it. I don't mean to sound selfish, but If you are going to have a bunch of children then you need to think of the responsibilities of that before having them. I don't think that the public should be responsible.
being aware and/or bothered by it is not the problem--what can we do about it - is the real problem. i am the 1 in that statistic, as many here are, i am a Christian, what does that have to do with it? i cannot even change the statistic for myself, how in the world am i supposed to act on others need as well? yes it bothers me...
