Even though insurance cannot be secured by the weak in health it is clear that they it worse than the healthy
 Admittedly it is rather hard lines for a person to put in the hours of suffering which illness causes and be penalized by loss of income the time, but it is question if equitable state insurance arrangement could be made unless it arbitrarily placed tax upon all incomes and salaries for it's support. It is this difficulty which is causing the intense debate the coast
