Complaining is another of our rights :-) I don't have health insurance, 
mostly because I can't afford it. I also feel that it is a scam that I don't 
want to buy into. I'm careful and health-conscious and haven't needed 
healthcare for years (even my kids were born in a Birth Center with a 
midwife, not covered by insurance, which I had at the time, because I would 
NOT subject them to hospitals and doctors). Yeah, it sure would be nice if I 
could go to a hospital if I accidentally cut off my foot, but we can't have 
everything.
