Yes I do feel that way. I could care less if you like it. I'm not asking for god's fucking gift to medicine to magically cure all my problems. I also feel that if you can reasonably afford healthcare that you should pay for it yourself. I also believe that those that do not work and contribute to society are not necessarily obligated to at least most benefits. I am all for helping those that are productive society members. Not everyone can sit pretty and make the big bucks, certainly not starting out. If that was the case who would do all those minimum wage shitty ass jobs that HAVE to be done? Or do the people that do the crap that the rest of us don't want to not deserve to at least be healthy?

Yes, I do think I'm a hotshot. I took a 1 year of college that I paid for, the realized it wasn't for me and dropped out before I could really get myself in debt. After that I moved out, got a decent paying job and worked my ass off. After realizing that my current location would never pay the dividends that I wanted, I packed my belongings and moved two states away in a city I knew nothing about or had any ties with. After years of hard work and keeping focus on my goals, I was able to make a great salary, and great home, and great life for myself.
So just because you think your life is hard(it's hard because of the life decisions you made BTW), don't assume that others aren't or haven't gone through the same shit.
And PS- This is what I meant to say I still stand behind this comment. If you cant afford health insurance, then get a better paying job. If you are making pennies but love what you do in life, then you need to take a good hard look at your life and determine what is more important to you.

Judging by your statement above you should know exactly where I am at because you have been there. Telling me basically "get a better job bum" is pretty fucking hypocritical judging by your story. How much could YOU have used a little help in those down times??? No need to worry about little old me. I'll make it, I have no doubt about that.
