Linking insurance with employment benefits makes your access to health care very tenuous, whether or not you want to admit it.
My point wasn't about availability. It's available to me, but I don't want or need it--because I don't go to doctors. Don't see a reason to. Doctors are a waste of money and time.

Let me see if you will agree with this TK: Your outlook on life in general is ... "unique" at best. It also has to be said that your outlook is RARE - there are very few in the world with a similar perspective.

It is obvious you do not like life. You do not like people.

So, while YOU may not go to a doctor, or YOU might not have or want health insurance, YOU are by far UNIQUE in YOUR thinking - because everyone else in the world DOES go to a Doctor from time to time. THEY do WANT insurance. Heck TK, there are even employers that REQUIRE that their employees go to a doctor - so, don't ever apply to one of these employers.

Can we have an agreement on the above??
