Yes hevusa you are right; some businesses do not offer health insurance. However isn't it kinda common sense to compare jobs that have better benefits and better pay??

Job A offers health insurance, dental insurance, and 401K
Job A yearly salary $40,000

Job B offers 401K
Job B yearly salary is $42,000

Some people who do not do their homework jump for the job with the higher salary. Yet you will actually make more money with Job A instead of Job B while paying for health insurance.

People that can't afford an American college education can obviously not get a job where health care is provided for them (most often). There is no other job for them. They are fucked by our system. We need to fucking help them!

They are not lazy bastards. I have seen this first hand. They are loving, caring, smart humans that need the help of their government. They don't want a handout.... they just want to be protected, and they deserve it.
