Basically, if you're middle or upper middle class what is the play in the event of some insanely expensive long term illness, which doesnt kill you immediately, but requires hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical care in the interim.

My wife had breast cancer. Well over $100k in bills. All covered under my employer's plan.

That's great. What about the other 142 million?

Covered by employer plans with less than a $1M cap?

Medicare

Medicaid

College sponsored Health Care for Students

Free Clinics

Charity sponsored Health Care

Their are PLENTY of opportunities for people to receive health care. "40Million people" are just too lazy or stupid or worried about their next fix. (~35Million Americans are addicted to drugs/alcohol)
