16. what's wrong with wanting something for nothing?
nothing is free in this world, but nobody with a healthcare problem or terminal illness should go bankrupt or die in debt because they can't afford treatment.

denying health insurance to those with preexisting conditions is wrong, those who are in the worst health should be helped the most. the problem, too many people don't understand this until they can no longer support themselves. without a requirement for everyone to pay the same price for the same level of coverage, insurance is only a spider web sold as a safety net..or another word for fraud and cherry-picking. we should all expect help from others when we become sick or old, but in return we should sacrifice for those who sick and old when we are still young and healthy.
