Just to satisfy my curiosity, I skimmed through the want ads in a few of the major newspapers down here (Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, San Diego Union-Tribune), & the majority of hiring employers still offer insurance.

I was wondering what happens with those people who don't work or can't work. Do they get any kind of insurance?
