But are we as a society prepared to do this? What other solutions do you have?

In no particular order:

Medical care loans. Doctors offering pro bono care. Payment plans. Charity. CATASTROPHIC INSURANCE - you know the kind that is really insurance and not a misnomer for getting other people to pay for regularly scheduled and foreseen occurrences. My insurance only costs about $160 per month and I pay out of pocket for a lot of stuff. Imagine that - personal responsibility.

None of those things require government.

“Imagine that - personal responsibility.”

I’m not talking about you or other responsible people - if everyone was personally responsible we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

I’m talking about the ones that are not - do you let them die if they act irresponsibly (get into an accident and don’t have insurance)?
