I have not seen any data that supports your rant.
And the cost of out of insurance healthcare, should you have to pay it, is artificially high thanks to all the tax subsidized insured.
What did I type that required data? Data that shows that sometimes healthy, employed people who are offered health care at their jobs opt out? Data that shows that sometimes people don't pay their hospital bills?
What does anything I said have to do with tax subsidized insured anyhow? That's a different topic. I have just as big a problem with medicaid moms abusing the ER because they know it's free. I wish we could turn away all the non-emergencies they bring their asses in with instead of going to urgent care or gasp... waiting until tomorrow and going to see their primary care Dr and wasting our time. That's a huge drain indeed and a different topic I could go off on for hours.
But I'm talking about personal responsibility and paying ones debts now. I am talking about good portion of society that claim to be moral yet thinking it's OK to roll the dice and screw the hospital when they get sick/hurt. I'm asking why people feel they should be paid for their work but not us. These are the first people who get indignant when you propose the be forced to buy insurance because they know we can't legally turn them away at the ER and we can't make them pay up. I'm saying people shouldn't be able to have their cake and eat it too. If someone is not OK with being forced to buy insurance then why should we be forced to treat them.
