That isn't what it means here either Dana. I've lived with and without medical insurance. I've lived poor and I've lived comfortably. At no point in time did I not have access to medical needs. There are countless programs available for those that seek. In arizona alone we have ACCHS for the poor, Mercy Care for those that can pay a little but don't have access through work, and private or group insurance for those that can afford it. We all see the same doctors. In fact, I just found out that my kids' pediatrician sees more ACCHS patients than private insurance patients.

As a side note, are you aware that most doctors will take a 60% reduction in payment if are a self paying client?
