Really, seriously, many of them may be your neighbors! Just regular folk with a mortgage, couple of kids, trying to pay the bill's, perhaps recently unemployed. THESE are the people that need help with health care reform. The "poor" already have various Government programs they qualify for. This has never been about "welfare" or more Government aid, it's simply recognizing a very large part of our population, including small business', that are priced out of the market.

I'm only 58, but have done well enough financially to retire "early". I'm fortunate that my various investments over the years return a decent monthly income, but more importantly, those investments have not taken a hit during this down turn. For the most part, I'm just lucky in that regard, not some genius investor.
