Not entirely true. Auto insurance is based on the insured's risk. For example, I'm paying $380/year to insure a 2016 SUV I bought new for around $60,000.
No reason health insurance can't also be based on an individual's risk. Keep fit, don't smoke or abuse drugs/alcohol, maintain a healthy body weight and other vitals, etc. = pay lower premiums.
I live in a "no fault" state, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I've had one speeding ticket in 44 years & zero other violations and the claims that were paid didn't total $6,000.00 together. I pay 645 for my 2010 Fusion as a leisure vehicle since I'm retired.
The person I talked about fits into the category you describe, but I imagine those people are a very small minority. You have a good idea and then the people that have a family history of hereditary diseases could purchase a catastrophic policy just to be safe.
LOL! Don’t pandering your fake compassion. You don’t give a crap about the poor. You want someone else to pay for YOUR health care. Not only that, you want to force others at the gunpoint to pay for you.
You don’t have a shred of decency. You don’t need a shower. You need a soul.
You can easily interchange words in that sentence with
You want to force others to pay for YOUR military protection
You want to force others to pay for YOUR child's education
You want to force others to pay for YOUR highways
You want to force others to pay for YOUR libraries
You want to force others to pay for YOUR police dept
You want to force others to pay for YOUR fire dept
Enough of forcing people to pay for stuff already.
Go start and fund your own military, schools, highways, libraries, police, fire then come back here and complain.
yes indeed, I can see it now, the free market in action. Price shop on your phone for discount coupons for local emergency rooms while your child is having an asthma attack, but don't forget to check Groupon!
Imagine the lulz that would ensue while having a heart attack you find a coupon on your phone for treatment at the hospital one city over and ask the Doctor(s) if he/they can "price match"
They have? Then this map of states that teach abstinence but not birth control must be "fake news"?
As far as abortion being 'easy' to get? Not so much if you live in Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota or Wyoming where there is one abortion clinic in the entire state. Birth control? It's easy if you have health insurance, but in states without expanded medicaid the only way most women can get birth control is through planned parenthood, and in some states you have to travel pretty far to get to a PP clinic.
If birth control is used, abortions would be few in most states, so the fact that in some states women don't have easy access to abortion is even more reason to diligently use birth control.
And even when the internet didn't exist most teens could have taught the sex ed class in high school.
High school is late, by the way. Most kids now know about sex in grade school including contraceptives.
Abortions are being used as birth control since such a large percentage of women who have them have had previous abortions.
There's absolutely no reason why a woman of any age who cannot afford to feed a baby should be having one.

Everytime you purchase auto or homeowner insurance - you are paying for someone's healthcare. Because all those companies pay for insurance for their employees.
We are all paying one way or the other.

So apparently I'm not getting it. What does your initial statement mean?

That doesn't apply to people who actually pay taxes. Over 45% of 1040 filers pay no federal income tax whatsoever. They actually ARE wanting others to be forced to pay for their government services.
Either we ALL pay, or NO ONE pays. We need a flat tax.
