The healthcare system is broken if you do an honest day's work and can't afford insurance...
A large segment of the United States falls in this category. In 2012, over 47 million non-elderly Americans were underinsured for health care: http://kff.org/uninsured/fact-sheet/key-facts-about-the-uninsured-population/ http://kff.org/uninsured/fact-sheet/key-facts-about-the-unin...
Also in the report: "The majority of the uninsured are in low-income working families. Reflecting the more limited availability of public coverage, adults are more likely to be uninsured than children. People of color are at higher risk of being uninsured than non-Hispanic Whites."
