Do people 'deserve' universal health care?

And even $1200/month on medical insurance is beyond many's ability to pay. That's basically a choice of paying the rent(or mortgage) or paying for health care for a lot of Americans.

$1200/month????

Whomever is paying that amount is a terrible shopper. As I've stated before, I pay barely over $300/month for myself, my husband and my son. That breaks down to a mere $100/month apiece.
