The uninsured are not "lazy" individuals; according to these statistics, all but about 20% of the uninsured are in a family with one or more workers - either part-time or full-time; many of these individuals are working more than one job just to make ends meet.
Most of the uninsured are in families living on the edges - having to make decisions about food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare. They cannot afford all those "luxuries" (food, clothing, shelter, healthcare) - the very things we take for granted every day.
Gregory Boyle has this to say : "Here is what we seek: a compassion that can stand in awe at what the poor have to carry rather than stand in judgment at how they carry it."
Most of us are so blessed; why then are we so greedy with the resources that could provide healthcare to everyone?
