Granted, priorities have a lot to do with it. But the fact of the matter is, statistically, he's not going to get sick enough at that age to justify the expenditure. He's way money ahead by paying cash for the few services he uses.

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.

If he were saving for a rainy day, he'd have money for those service "on a rainy day".

If Ted Kennedy didn't stifle medical savings accounts, he could be stashing that money away tax free for his own health care.

Insurance is not supposed to be a good deal for the buyer. It is to protect against the low probability of a very expensive loss. The main problem with health insurance is that it has to much 1st dollar coverage, which is why HSA insurance policies are such a good idea.

A friend of mine who is a Democrat wants "free" health care so bad. He gushes over Hillary's plan to charge corporations - as he told me - $1.40 for every hour worked by each employee. That would be $11.20 every day the company I worked for would have to shell out to Big Brother to pay for my health care. $112.00 every 2 weeks.

No way a small business could keep up with that additional expense. And my friend could not understand why he would not be seeing his regular raises any more.
