My solution was simple. I have not had health care insurance since Jan 1, 2014. No legal hassles, I pay the doctor direct for any services ($50 total last year) and I get to live my life.
Americans have been conditioned to believe God created our bodies to fail constantly. Thing is, that is not true. People eat poorly, over medicate and otherwise abuse the body and then think they need health insurance just to stay “normal”.
It’s a scam. You really don’t need health insurance that bad with one exception: Just as life insurance companies are betting you are going to live, and they are usually right (which is why they turn a profit), health insurance companies are betting your human body will do just fine, and you are betting you are sickly.
so you are going to pay a tax?
How did you get by with a $50 payment to the doctor in one year? Office call here (Nebr.)is at least 3 times that.
Except now, it is against the law not to have insurance.Personally I think people should have catastrophic health insurance and just their bill themselves when they go in for a cold or something trivial like every one goes to doctors for now days. That way should they get cancer or something they would be covered.
