Free and 'can afford' are not synonyms. Slashed prices is not free.
~110 Alaskans a week are losing their health insurance coverage. According to: http://acpp.info/category/public-health-policy/ and newspapers from a short while back. Without health insurance (or the ability to pay for the operation), doctors need do only the minimum required to alleviate the problem. They don't have to fix it completely, they just have to make it non-life threatening and not hurt as much. Also, if you can pay for it, you almost always have to (which people living 2-3 paychecks till homelessness can't well afford to do)
See the problem? This is an ultra-conservative, primarily christian population. ~64% think Alaska should have a death penalty (AK does not currently have one). 70% think that House bill 35, requiring parental notice and consent for a minor's abortion, should be passed.
I have such newspaper polls (w/comments) saved, and i have correctly written on them both 'This idiocy cannot be accepted.' : \ Alaska voted mostly favoring Bush in 2000 and 2004, and voted Mccain and Pailin (who most of them should have already known was a complete moron) in 2008. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/...vs_mccain/ good showing of it.
Back on topic though, i repeat that we are not the best, but we are in no way the worst.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
