Look those types of articles center on the sick and those who have no health insurance. The healthy ones(the majority) dont have a problem other than they pay H.I. Do u want to admit that 80% of the people u know are sick?? and I mean sick to the point of racking up medical expenses?? Look around you. Look everywhere u go. Most people are healthy

I also can't believe you just said that having health insurance or not has no bearing on the health of an individual. Common sense dictates that if you can't get medical treatment for an issue it will only get worse and be compounded with further health issues. Show me actual evidence to the contrary and not the experience of one person in 305 million. Holding on to these fallacies about the US healthcare system just makes you look stupid.

See u miss the point. Just because someone doesnt have health insurance does not mean that they will or would not receive treatment. Everyone will get treated its just a question of how they get paid. Here is a real life example
Last week a friend of mine had Bronchities(or however its spelled). for a week it was getting worse, real bad and finally his roomate had to take him to the emergency room. Now Frank has no health insurance. Matter of fact he doesnt make much money where he works. His roomate brought him to the emergency room where he sat for about an hour then was looked at by the doctors. He was diagnosed, signed a piece of paper that said he does owe the money, he was given a prescription where he had to pay full shot($40.00).
Now once he gets the bill all he has to do is send a small payment in and they will continue to bill him monthly. Point being u either get billed by the monthly insurance u pay or get billed by the hospital. Total Bill came to $250.00 which includes the prescription.
Frank hasnt been sick in years. he doesnt even remember when he last went to the hospital or doctors. He has not had H.I ever in his life.
Bottom line I pay $1400 for me monthly, he pays $250.00 and both of us can and will get treated again if need be...
