I pay for all my own medical bills. I had a miscarriage, cost me $6,000 to lose my baby in a PUBLIC toilet at the Emergency room. They wouldn’t even give me an area of some privacy. All because they COULD.
I have catastrophic insurance (over $1 million). I believe in personal responsibility. I also have a health insurance savings account.
FORCING INSURANCE ON PEOPLE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
The state pays for much more health care for Illegal Immigrants who use the Emergency room as their primary care physician.
And a big part of the reason that medical bills are so high is because the hospitals know they can gouge the insurance companies and the state.
And what about those who are uninsureable? Or insurance costs are more than their annual medical bills. My mother pays her own way. She cannot get health insurance. My SIL CAN get insurance but it is over 2,0000 PER MONTH.
Before you complain about those of us who choose to pay our own way, complain about those who are taking advantage of the system! Complain about the illegals and welfare mothers.
I don’t mind anyone paying his own way but people don’t do it,,the amount of the bills is part of it, it is enormously expensive and few can come up with the money.
But anybody who goes without insurance and pays his way has no problem.
It is those who stiff the rest of us with their bills,,
