- 9 million make over $75,000 a year but choose not to purchase insurance
- 14 million are illegible through another program (i.e. spouse's program). 5 million of them can get it through an employer but choose not to
- 9.7 million are illegal immigrants-according to the Kaiser Family Foundation
- 3-5 million are in-between jobs
- 6 million are young people between the ages of 21-35
- That leaves 4 million people who are over the age of 35 and legitimately need health insurance
Destroying our entire healthcare system and letting the government take over 1/6 of our economy for 4 million people does not sound like a very bright idea to me. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, it's simple logic and common sense. Removing the barriers that prevent us from purchasing insurance in other states will increase competition between health insurance companies, thus increase the quality of insurance for people who already have it and single handedly drive down the price for the actual 4 million who don't, buy forcing these companies to compete against hundreds of other companies from around the country instead of just a few in each state. FORCE these companies to have to compete against many, many, many other companies for your business. What part of this simple logic do the corrupt politicians in Washington not understand?
