That health insurance, like many other things, is like a car or a home? If you have the money to get it, you can buy it yourself.
I know that this is a very simplistic way to view it, but health insurance isn't a "Right". No one is entitled to health insurance. I have compassion for the above described woman's circumstances. Not only does she have health issues, but she's in debt that will be with her for the rest of her life.
