Clue me in.
I was just summarizing a truly free market healthcare system. That is what you wish for, correct?

Uhhhh.... Man, you are stupid.

I will prioritize my money, and buying "obamacare" type insurance is immensely stupid.

No, you have no idea what free market health care is, then.

A massive rip-off if you are young & healthy.

ObamaCare is more of the Democrat's war against young people. Crappy schools, higher ed. tuition bubble, lower class mobility, mountains of debt, murdering Social Security, killing the 40 hour work week, destroying the job market, jacking up young people's health costs. The young people will only take getting kicked in the teeth so much before they fight back. Luckily for Democrats, many of these young people are massively ignorant due to our awful Democrat ruined public school system.

Stupid!? I think you are missing out.

What if you don't have insurance? What if something terrible happens? like cancer! or a bullet ant bite!?!

He/she will probably expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab.

Sadly, your mind is just too small to understand what wise use of insurance is.

I am young. 25 to be exact. And I have pre-existing conditions. As someone who is young and does have pre-existing conditions do not tell me that this is a democrat war against young people. Do you think the young don't get sick? The absolute hell that our current healthcare system puts on people with pre-existing conditions will finally be gone in just three and a half months.

The ignorance is just too much for sometimes. I need an Aleve. Don't tell my insurance that I am taking one. They might re-institute my pre-existing condition clause.

Yes, you want to get "stuff" paid for by someone else, without asking for charity.

Or, in other words, you want someone to forcibly pick someone else's pockets to get what you want, and it doesn't matter to you who does the stealing, as long as it gets taken for your benefit.

Oh don't. Don't you dare.

Would you say that to your child if they developed a chronic condition? If your loved one contracted HIV? Developed cancer? Multiple Sclerosis?

We all share this society. And just as you may be the one to become chronically sick, I would be happy to pay extra in taxes to fund your care. It benefits all of us if we live in a healthier society.
