Let me ask you a question.

Do you have insurance? If so, you've got nothing to worry about. If not, you'll likely have your insurance paid for. If you have enough money to pay for your insurance, and don't, thats another issue entirely.

Now, let me ask you another question.

If you find out you have bone cancer tomorrow, arguably the most painful cancer, would you go to the doctor for treatment, without insurance.

I don't like the government mandating anything, and if they allow doctors and hospitals to deny care for those who can't afford it, I'm all for letting this bill go.

However, that will never happen. The way it is now, you don't pay insurance, although you can afford it. Then, when you get sick, you go to the doctor, he has to care for you, and then I get stuck with the bill, because you were greedy with your money.

I was already paying for your insurance, you're just pissed, because now the bill has come due.

Or collect their Social Security and Medicare. Judging from their pictures, I am estimating that most of them collected way more from Medicare than they paid in!

I more or less felt this way too until I was talking to a friend I went out to dinner with who works in health care. He reminded me that even though the insurance industry gets new customers, they have to insure the risky people that before were bad for their books. There will be a cost to them as well when they have to start helping thousands of people with preexisting conditions and those who were previously "uninsurable" for other reasons as well. I personally will be having surgery done on my leg that was supposed to have been done 15 years ago, and haven't been able to have it done because of how the companies previously operated. I suspect I am far from alone.

I am good with that.

Any consenting adult who refuses to buy health insurance, must pay cash up front for any healthcare-including emergency care. They also can be denied subsequent health insurance for pre-existing conditions.

Its folks like this that are the reason that America spends so much money on healthcare in the first place.

Maybe if fatso would put down the Pork Rinds, Doritos and Twinkies then healthcare reform would be less costly.
