Do people know the difference between health care and health insurance?

I read a lot of 'questions' crabbing about government HEALTH CARE when nobody has ever suggested such a thing. Where do they get this idea?

    Acceptance requires ignorance.

    - Thus those who support ObamaCare make sure that the general public is kept ignorant as to the facts.

    I can assure you that liberals don't. Basically having health insurance does not necessarily mean you have access to health care. That is something that a lot of people are going to find out with Obamacare.

    Apparently not. Possibly the confusion comes from the idea that only people with insurance are allowed to seek medical care. The two are not the same. Just because you have one, is no guarantee of the other.

    I'd assume with health insurance a person would get health care, and with health care a person would be waiting a long time of something that's nonexistent.

    One needs health insurance in order to receive health care, unless they want to pay out of their own pockets.
