If that same 28 year old chooses to pay $50/month for cable/satellite, $35/month for cellphone, $40/month for DSL, $25/month for digital radio, $20/month for Netflix, cigarettes, etc. etc. it could also be called a matter of budgeting for priorities.

What young healthy people SHOULD do while they are young and healthy, is by a cheap policy in case of accidents, and stick what they would otherwise pay for a good policy into a RSP. By the time they get old and start needing health care, they could have their own policy, which will continuously replenish itself if it is drawn on.

Hillary and all the other socialists, on the other hand, wants desperately for him (or his employer) to be forced to pay that monthly amount to subsidize all those who are draining the system. Image how expensive auto insurance would be if only bad drivers insured themselves.
