Explain why access to health insurance is a bigger issue than access to a paycheck?
I can have access to a paycheck by selling stuff.
I can have access to affordable health care through some combination of public policy, state and federal programs, laws that may or may not end up being repealed or enforced, regulations on the insurance industry, reforms on the legal industry, pressure from consumer advocacy groups, happening to live in the right place, hoping that my insurance company doesn't raise rates too much, or possibly marrying someone with good health insurance, or being the right age to be on my parents' plan, if they have an affordable plan to begin with. Also I can choose not to smoke or have kids if I want to keep my costs down.
