The entire concept of free insurance AKA social insurance/medicine of any kind regardless of what you call it is always going to screw those who pay for it as no private insurer would provide coverage to America’s legions of obese people. Look in the mirror or around you and ask yourself would you insure that person? That is individual insurance. I could not insure a 5’ 3” 28 year female in 1980 as she refused to get under 210 pounds two times. I tried to work with her for two months as she was 218-220. She failed the first and last medical weight test at the DR’s office. Mutual of Omaha would not touch her. Yet I got those with cancer who had gone 5 years without cancer coverage. What few know is that those with diabetes or other conditions could get coverage for everything else. Why do people who have a serious preexisting condition like diabetes expect to get that covered? It is like a rancher with 10,000 head of cattle fenced in. One gets out and is lost as the fence breaks in one place. Does he chase the one steer or does he protect the other 9,999. I say protect the 9,999. Insurance rates are high because we are paying for those who are foreign students, illegals of every nationality, plus a country full of obesity. Look at the nurses in hospitals. I did not notice this terrible national obesity epidemic before Obama. Get rid of Obamacare and go back to private insurers. Only let them provide coverage in all states without giving kickbacks to state Insurance commissioners and governors like Clinton was in Arkansas. He got 10% kickback from the company I worked foe as state manager in a neighboring state.
Obesity?
How ‘bout the druggies (smokes, caffeine, pot, etc)?
The gays (whole LIFESTYLE of ‘just waiting to happen’)?
Maybe the adrenaline junkies\extreme sports?
Those in the trades (carpenter\electrician)?
Care to point out where the line can be drawn? Start to shoe-horn into very discreet categories, based on job\hobbies, where one pays $ vs. $$$?
