Dream on. I also do not like subsidizing the cost it takes to take care of the deadbeats and illegals. However, many cannot be faulted for their poor health. It is often hereditary. You’ll think differently when you come down with something. Enjoy your invincibility while you can.
They don’t have to be faulted. And insurance need not be so expensive. Again, if de-regulation were the order of the day, you’d see health costs drop dramatically and most of the sick would be able to afford it. The rest could be taken care of through private charity.
We will all have something significantly wrong with us at some point. That’s not the issue. What’s relevant is what system will provide the most people with the best care. We haven’t had a free market health system for 60 years. Before employers and govt started paying for it, most people got by. Were there those who couldn’t afford even basic service? Sure. But to pretend that life can ever be perfect is what gets us into economically unstable and substandard programs like Mediare & Medicaid... and probably soon, universal health care.
Welfare, for example, was to end poverty simply by redirecting money from the wealty to the poor. Despite what Dems today say, that WAS the goal. Yet poverty still exists, and worse, the program has produced millions of people who are perfectly able to work, yet choose to live off the govt.
