Easy for you to say but hard for the majority of folks to do. People who are ill, have a disease or condition that requires medical attention or surgery to maintain or correct their problems, can’t just boycott the system and not show up at the doctor’s office. Your so-called advice is worthless to those who need medical care or who are wealthly enough to pay cash for everything. Where or how else are they to get medical care?
I notice you have no alternative solution to your pronouncement. You are either young, healthy or both and/or haven’t yet had to stare severe suffering, death or bankruptcy in the face for not having the resources to pay for a life-saving treatment or be financially ruined. People like you don’t add one iota to the debate on healthcare and insurance in this country by throwing out ludicrous ideas into the discussion that are not realistic. You, like myself and many others, may not like Obama or big government or even the insurance companies, but your ego has gotten in the way of your intelligence. You are too clever by half for you own good, as the saying goes.
Oh? What do you think people did do for thousands of years?
And, how did they do?
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." Psalm 90:10.
Seventy, eighty years? Is it really all that better now?
