I also like the thought of government paying for my pre-existing home, current home, groceries, utilities, cable, Internet, cell phone, abortions, birth control, making my Doctors and Nurses work for minimum wage, taxing my neighbors to smithereens to pay for my needs, etc... I guess bankrupting a lot of insurance companies so that only big huge conglomerates who are immune to competitive pricing can drive up medical care even further, yee-haw!!!

That’s a ridiculous argument.
If your child came down with a dread disease, and you had to depend on “charity”(as another poster suggested) because your insurance company dropped his coverage, your life would be a freaking NIGHTMARE!

I don’t consider them to be the same. You agree to things like mortgages and cars. Diabetes, cancer ,those things you don’t. I don’t feel bad for insurance company’s when they pay out. They have that risk factored in .
