Oh, yeah. Definitely. Medical insurance has made it possible for a hell of a lot of lives to be saved, and a hell of a lot of lives to be made more livable.
I am against the government mandating that every American have medical insurance, because I don’t think it’s any damn business of the government to order such a thing.
If you want medical insurance, then buy it. If you don’t want it, then don’t buy it.
Medical insurance is a product that a hell of a lot of Americans want. If you don’t want it, fine.
Why don’t you respond to my comment about the idiocy of your posit that buying medical insurance is the same as having to pay protection money to the mob? I’ll tell you why: Neither the insurance industry nor the medical profession will burn down your house and break your legs if you don’t buy medical insurance; however, the mob will burn down your business and break your legs if you don’t buy their protection “offer.”
Then why is it that in today’s America, so many go broke from medical bills, when that wasn’t the case before medical insurance?
Don’t you understand that the reason for skyrocketing medical expenses is a direct result of insurance and the drug companies?
Of course under today’s circumstances one would be a fool not to buy insurance, but that’s not the point.
So, why do you think hospitals are shuttering their doors?
Why do you think insurance premiums keep going up? Obviously Obamacare has made it worse, but the bigger problem was already the introduction of HMO.
Face it. The American people are being soaked and insurance and Pharmaceutical companies are doing the soaking.
