Heh, but what if the government forces you to buy a TV, and it costs more than your house payment, your car payment AND your utilities payments? That's where I would be, which is why I don't have health insurance. Well, the REAL reason is that I trust the Great Physician, and he's been very faithful.Plenty of people can buy insurance. The key is that you have to make enough money to do so. If someone is too lazy to get a good job, maybe they shouldn't be so worried about health care.
I don't even know why we have "insurance" to begin with. You should pay for the healthcare you need at the fair market value. And if someone in America can't afford healthcare then they just have to either deal with it on their own or become less lazy and start making good money.
Healthcare is EXACTLY like buying a new television set. If you can't afford it maybe you shouldn't get it.
I have discovered, in talking with friends and acquaintances without health insurance, that health care is quite cheap if you pay out of pocket. I'm talking about 70-90% savings. And more and more doctors and hospitals are actually listing prices, just like McDonalds. This is because so many people, with high deductibles, are now forced to pay out of pocket. This is an odd good thing that came out of Obamacare - people price shopping.
And here's one of the problems with health insurance: As someone said a while ago, if car insurance was like health insurance, it would pay for oil changes, wiper fluid and light bulbs, not to mention tires.
No wonder health insurance is so expensive.
