8. True but
the individual I am referring to is self-employed in an endeavor that requires him to work 12 to 16 hours a day seven days a week. The endeavor does not generate enough income to secure a regular employee and much of what is done is proprietary - though the fellow does from time to time secure part-time assistance. The family does get several weeks off every 18 to 24 months. Travel abroad might be an option for routine care every couple of years but it does not address their need for meaningful access to health care. And it completely fails to address the same need for those who are less fortunate.
