I'll explain my comment again though I am sure you will ignore it. When choosing a career, I worked very hard to ensure that I got a job with excellent health benefits. It was an extremely important factor.
What part of that demonizes me exactly?

I'm talking about the absurdity of the notion, not your individual work ethic, choices or conduct.
My point is that even WITH that dedication, hard work and forethought, you and your family are still vulnerable to the trappings of the American Healthcare System. How difficult must it be on those without the benefit of your lifestyle?
What if you didn't work that hard, make those choices or suffered a career setback? Would that be fair to your children to be denied basic healthcare because their dad is a deadbeat, or victim of circumstance, unlucky or plain 'ol doomed from the start?
That, to me, is what should be the infuriating part.
