i know plenty of people who are extremely hard workers who simply would not be able to afford to live if they were paying for health insurance. the good jobs with adequate benefits are extremely hard to find. as satan said, it's a recession.
often, the only way that people who are of lower classes/castes (by that i mean those who have been formally incarcerated, of a race which is discriminated against in a very segregated city, people who had to drop out of high school when they were 16 to support their families, people who's teeth have fallen out because they never had health care...yada yada) can actually "get a job" is by selling their bodies/dealing on the streets etc....because when you have lots of mouths to feed, sometimes a service sector job just doesn't cut it.... of course, i'm talking straight out of my everyday experiences working in what feels like a third world country (and honestly holds a lot of similiarities in some respects)
