What they still can not understand for the people who do not have affordable healthcare is that people are suffering & dying from lack of healthcare.
Why can't All Americans have access to the same healthcare that the congressional leaders purchase? ($5k a year divided by 12 = $416.66 a month or $2.40 per hour of a 40 hourly wage) Atleast more people could afford to buy healthcare.
Congress needs to address the facts that insurance companies are not covering people's pre-existing conditions as well, and that is just not right! (Insurance companies make enough profits! How much tax write off do they get?)
