I can assume the moon is made of green cheese, but that does not make me correct.

Actually, many employeed people who think they have good insurance end up in the position he is when they find their insurance is not as good as they thought.

What is it about conservatives that they so often just assume the facts?

Maybe if you were a little more careful with facts you would have more credibility.

Spencer: Health insurance, at least decent health insurance, pays the type of costs Whitlock is purportedly selling the jersey to pay. Ergo, one presumes he either is uninsured or has very paltry health insurance.

Successful middle aged men with families tend to have very good health insurance. Ergo. . .

James -- the quoted article does say anything about his health insurance.

What is your source for the statement that he did not have health insurance ?

The fact that he apparently doesn't have medical insurance at age 56 may refute the idea the he's "a successful, middle class, American."

I wonder what it says about our system that a successful, middle class, American is being driven to this to cover his families medical expenses. what would happen if he hadn't been so "lucky" to have these valuable assets.
