I've got news for you Partial. Many, if not most of the people without health insurance in this country are working people whose job does not provide health care benefits. If you are on welfare, there is a good chance you qualify for medicaid. Following the Welfare reform legislation of 1996, there were many cases of people losing health care benefits because they got a job that did not provide benefits, but because they were working no longer qualified for medicaid. Great system, isn't it?

By the way, my salary is determined by a contract between my union and the Postal Service which runs for another 4 years. My salary won't change if a Democrat wins the White House.
