At the fifth GOP debate this week, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul, a doctor, whether someone who opts to not buy health insurance and then gets sick should be allowed to die. The crowd responded with startling shouts of "Yeah!" followed by applause, leaving even Rick Perry "taken aback." Paul's answer, while more gentle, was more or less the same.
Okay, someone doesn't want to spend money on health insurance premiums and chooses instead to have that money to spend, why shouldn't they pay to visit their physician when they get a virus? Or take on debt from a hospital stay?
The reason a lot of us waste so much money on our insurance plans is that we think it's a good idea to have them just in case.

The key word in that sentence is "opts." Someone could have bought health insurance, but for whatever reason chose not to.
You could also stand on a busy street corner, and opt not to follow the directions provided by a traffic light. In either case, sooner or later you're going to have to deal with the consequences of the choice you've made.

My payments to the Hospital, are a ¼ of what an insurance premium is per month.

And if you choose to take the position that if someone opts not to buy insurance they should be covered by the taxpayers, you have just rendered insurance completely useless.
