Healthcare isn't a business, it's peoples lives

@Vlad: Well I wasn't going to get into it further, but since you think I was trying to make a point, instead of just voicing a question...

I could afford health insurance. I choose not to. I might have to rearrange a few bills and cancel a few things, but for the most part, I do not care to have it. The benefits of not having to pay for it now, while I am young and healthy, far outweigh the benefits of having insurance now, when I am young and healthy. I rarely get sick. I don't get injured. I don't see why I need it. I was wondering how many other people are like me, and don't feel the need to get insured.

Also, if I get sick enough to need to see a doctor, I pay for it. Cash or credit. Cheaper that way in the long run.

Usually the politicians cite the Illegals in the number of uninsured as a measure to boost the numbers, so that was why I was asking the question.

PS. One reason I don't want it now, I would rather pay off debt and secure a house first. Once I get a few more things I want, I may purchase a plan myself.

 

Well I can also assume that everyone is like me and thinks that letting businesses handle our health is the worst idea ever.... Then again I guess not....

I also don't know how they can cite illegals since they are not listed anywhere.
