I have never been against providing for those that fit into the group that can’t get insurance. The reason I couldn’t get it? I had sleep apnea. No one would insure me. So I used short term health coverage until Obamacare came along.
I have absolutely no doubt that I am better of with Obamacare than short term health insurance.
But I recognize most here can’t fathom the thought of what it is like to not be able to get insurance and be at risk for what is coming down the pike..like surgeries, cancer, and very rare autoantibody that science doesn’t even really understand.
I’m a great believer in cafeteria coverage policies for anyone who wants it-I have military Tricare for life PPO as my secondary-I used it once-a couple of years ago, I got laser vision correction so I don’t have to wear contacts/glasses any more-a vanity, but something I’ve wanted for a long time-Tricare paid most of it, but my part to pay was still not as high as I anticipated-PPO is not as expensive as some would like you to believe-and it discourages medical greed, too.
I’m a naturalist-have always followed a healthy organic lifestyle, don’t take drugs-only natural supplements vitamins, not overweight, no processed food-organic only. No doc unless I’m injured-or unless I find myself exposed to some rare virus/bacteria that is not curable with a natural remedy. No check-ups/wellness stuff-I manage my own health and well being-my choices.
But I still pay for everyone who is on the couch eating twinkies, morbidly obese, drug addicted, etc and/or getting the Wuhan virus and everything else-so does everyone else who pays for medicare, Tricare-and every other insurance-that is not right and I want to see Obamascare gone-let people be in a smaller risk pool by choosing their coverage-not have emotionally healthy people paying for someone’s sex change, hormones and anti-depressants, men paying for pregnancies-and abortions, etc-that is the fair way to do it-like it oer not, we should not be forced to pay for the healthcare of others like that...
