Universal health coverage in America

-
About this time last year I wrote about the absence of health insurance among my age group. More accurately, the disinterest in paying for life and health insurance. I had read about tontine insurance which sounds like a good deal but, unfortunately, is no longer around. Now, with the historic healthcare bill becoming law of the land, every citizen will not be turned away from medical service and must buy some form of health insurance. 


I believe it will prove a good thing that every man, no matter how poor, will not be left to die just because he is without a fat insurance coverage, but does this mean wanderers like me have to settle down and schlep through a goddamn 9to5 just to afford a basic insurance plan?
