The uninsured take resources away from the insured.
If everyone has to pay for insurance, its less of a burden on everyone.
And believe me, when you have to pay for insurance - - you use it carefully.

I have had to pay for insurance since I left college, I was responsible for my own life. Instead of getting the latest and greatest hi-tech doo dads, plasma screens, clothes, etc I was more interested in my health and my wife's (and then later our son.) Ever since 2009 I have had to pay *A LOT MORE* for insurance than I was beforehand, while being just as careful.
Not impressed by this whole 'uninsured' emotional argument.

Actually, your whole response is emotional.

The facts is I have had healthcare since before it was a recent political football, and I am paying more now than I was before, for the same necessities
