With unemployment so high I am sure that everyone will have the opportunity to insure themselves without the fear of being rejected.

Nevermind the fact that you <i><b>are</i></b> a bigot and have clearly stated so in the past? Eh? . And, btw, <i><b>you skipped everything in between</i></b>, so it's a nice dodge, but doesn't address any of my <i><b>other</i></b> comments. . Just like you failed to rebut the two you focused on. Perhaps because you know you would be arguing against your own words? I see, Rusty.
