True. But you should still have the choice of whether or not to purchase. If you end up getting screwed, that's on you.

Okay. So you choose not to buy insurance. What happens when you get hit by a car one day? Someone calls 911 and the ambulance comes, they have to take you to the ER and give you thousands of dollars worth of medical care to save your life... but you have no insurance. Are they supposed to just sit there and let you die in the ER waiting room if you can't pay? Surely you don't expect the hospital itself to foot the bill for every patient that strolls through without insurance? Maybe they could save even more money and not even send an ambulance, you could just bleed out in the street! I'm no huge fan of Obamacare either, but come on.

Is this in America, or Canada? Or one of the other dozen or so countries that provide free healthcare?

similar to arguments against CCTV cameras that will prevent crime.. the criminals have convinced the public it will hurt them to have help.

curious world.

Plus I work with health insurance quite frequently at my job. And one thing that you always can be sure of when verifying patient benefits is that you will get a disclaimer telling you that even though patient X is eligible for X treatment, that is no guarantee of payment or coverage from the insurance provider.

They treat you and send you the same bill that they would get if you had insurance only without the insurance deductions. I'm insured now which costs me roughly $1000 a year, I wasn't for the first 5 years after graduating high school, I went to the ER and received treatment during that time, total cost $2700. Not having insurance that 5 years saved me over 2 grand.

Nobody should be forced to buy insurance (health or car). That's one part of the affordable care act that I don't agree with. I do agree however that there should be a minimum of coverage that companies are allowed to offer. Going for the lowest bidder for the sake of the budget never works.

You realize that American "liberals" are more conservative than right wing European fascists, don't you? They're about as communist as a McDonald's.

I really don't care about politics either way. I'm just stating the facts.
