And still no answer.
Are American citizens better off since the advent of medical insurance or not?
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.”
