| Message | Health care is often just as inaffordable for those on middle income as it is for those on low income. The private sector should be available to offer a viable alternative for those that choose not to use the public health system, but health care should be available to anyone regardless of their current financial situation. Its certainly not uncommon for someone to have a moderate income but still be struggling financially. |
