Healthcare is a major leveler. Virtually EVERYONE will need it, but not everyone will be able afford it under your beliefs-even with diligent, hard, and honest labor.
And there it is. You wish life-long suffering upon him simply because he wants to keep more of what he earns rather than just handing it over to the government so that it can be distributed to who-the-hell-knows after government bureaucracies siphon off 50% to fund their worthless jobs.

I'm sure T-310 will gladly fork over that $1,000,000 bucks that he's stuffed in his mattress to pay for a heart transplant! Meer chump change!

What did people do before Obamacare? Obama created this mess and Trump is trying to clean it up. I ask again, for those playing the blame-game? What did people do for insurance before Obamacare? Don't blame President Trump for this awful disaster that Obama created.

And there it is. 'I've got mine, so everyone else who is unable to afford even the most basic health care, can suffer.' I suggest you head off somewhere you can live your sophomoric Ayn Rand fantasies unimpeded. Somalia is fabulously unencumbered by taxation or regulation of any sort.

There's a *reason* most civilized countries have universal healthcare.

Sounds like you need to move to Canada. Here in America we take care of ourselves and don't depend on government handouts.

I actually was better off. I insured my family with private health insurance (yes, it was obtainable.) Had far less grief.

Simple, people who couldn't afford health care or get charity medical care died!

So what is stopping you from moving to one of those more "civilized" places?
