The Speaker of the House opines it is unfair for people not to have health insurance and pass on costs of possible illnesses to the rest of us but it is, however, fair for people not to have health insurance and pass on costs of purposeful provision of health insurance to the rest of us.

 Jim Cooper, Nashville's Democratic House member,  voted for Speaker Pelosi's bill. Someone should ask Representative Cooper what he believes is fair.

    I am a self-employed person (and Examiner writer) who cannot afford $400+ a month for mediocre health insurance. Yet our Senators and Congressman get free and excellent health care for life, paid for by my taxes! All Americans deserve equal health care. It is shameful that some Americans die of curable diseases simply because they cannot afford health insurance. Yes, I do feel like a slave who is exploited by the very representatives I elected to look out for my best interests!
