The number of Americans you cite as "not covered" is a complete myth. After taking out the millions of healthy people who choose to not maintain insurance, and the millions who are financially well off and choose to pay as they go, and the millions who are already eligible for government assistance but are too lazy to register, and the millions who are illegal aliens, and the millions caught up in a statistical glitch for even being un-insured for one day while transitioning jobs, you are left with just a few million who really 'fit' the description. But when did facts ever matter to liberals when it comes to policy.

As for bankrupting some individuals, is it better to bankrupt the entire nation of individuals?

Most Americans will not stand by and be force-fed socialism especially when the free market alternatives are proven to be vastly better. The fight is on.
