Something for nothing

A woman named Tina Dupuy writes on today's LAT opinion page that she has no healthcare insurance, and that it's terrible being without it but she can't afford it though she's married and she alone makes $47,000 per year -- her husband's earnings aren't mentioned. She doesn't come right out and say it but she leaves the impression that what she's arguing for is something for nothing, meaning she wants other people to pay for her healthcare. She probably smokes.
