Not everyone has access to insurance, ray.  If your diabetes has been 
diagnosed , whether insulin dependent or not, you would have a tough time 
buying private health insurance. 

 My wife works at least part of the year, always; just so , that we can pay, 
through work and then Cobra for our health insurance, and it is very 
expensive, still.  I am un-insurable, otherwise; but , not judgement-proof.  
If you are very poor, or very rich, you do not have to worry; but every one 
caught in the middle can be caught up quickly.

I do agree with you that national centralized health-care is a bad idea.  
But, only because I think it will not work as advertised and will lead to 
rationing and lower the standards of health care for everone in the country 
except the very rich..................
