        If you want to know what's really wrong with America today? Read the comments on these articles. We lack basic human compassion. @nytimes

        If you could get a year's worth of health care for the cost of an iPhone it would be a no-brainer. Stupid comparison.

        @waltiepooh An elitist false choice. Smart phones bring affordable internet to families, connect to employment, teachers, news.

        Priority may be making sure you have email & internet for jobs/education. Esp if health ins is out of reach either way.

        Most people will be choosing between food and insurance, not phones and insurance.

        Then GOP should have the same health insurance as us. No living off our dime, since will need to save them for payphones.

        Don't spend too much time addressing this comment. It was made by a wealthy lawmaker who is out of touch with American life today.

        Specious argument by the GOP. The real choice will be netween insurance premium and food or shelter.
