How do you figure the odds are near zero for you? Your risk of catching a disease such as ebola may be approaching zero but there are non-disease injuries as well as diseases that start small and suddenly progress into a hospital stay.

And assuming it is zero for you, have you no compassion for your fellow American, such as the child who is born diabetic and needs rigorous medical care as well as expensive daily insulin but whose parents neither have health insurance and nor can afford it?
