Actually with the exception of an auto accident, I have been to the Doctor once in the last 6 years, and that was for a check up. Unlike many, I do not run to the doctor for the sniffles, a slight cough, or anything like that. In fact, most people that are eating those anti-biotics often for their minor colds and such, are worse off than me. Now then, you cannot compare health insurance to car insurance, or home owners insurance. They are structured differently, purchased differently, and the laws applied differently. Maybe if medical costs were actually addressed, medical insurance would not cost so much, and then forcing people via threat of fine may not be so bad. I feel that people should reap what they sew, which means that if they do not have insurance, but could afford it, then they pay cash or are not seen. The solution is not to force people to pay insurance companies money, or be fined by the government. I mean that is basically forcing a "tax" on just living. The solution is to fix the medical cost problems so that insurance or cash can pay for things. As it is now, I pay cash and file the insurance afterwards, it is cheaper that way, so people should look into why it is cheaper. Also, get the Doctor's out of making profit on financial interests in the hospitals that they treat in, as it is a conflict of interest. quote:
ORIGINAL: slvemike4u Actually Willbeur in this case health insurance as an obligation serves two purposes....the first as you state is personal....the second is to protect others from having to foot the bills of the uninsured once they get sick......which being human is as inevitable as death itself.
