Are you seriously insinuating that sixty million employed citizens are just apathetic to health coverage?

When did you join the military? 18? 21? Sure it's normal for a person that young to not give much thought to health coverage. However, that isn't the demographic we're covering here. After all, there are assistance programs that cover persons making minimum wage or little above.

There's a hole in affordable coverage for middle class citizens, that's what the debate is about. Hard working people are having to choose between food, gas, and health coverage. And they can't go without food or gas.

I'm not sure if you understand the composition of the problem, or the proposed solutions.
