So are you denying that many do not buy insurance, especially the younger 20-30 generation becuase they believe they are not going to get sick and they prefer not spending the money?
How many times a year does your average healthy 25 year old go to the doctor? How many times a year MUST they see a doctor?
Yeah...that is what I am saying......people will gamble. They do it now....and in no way will the CHANCE of getting caught and having to pay 1K sway them into paying 7K a year for something they dont truly think they will need.
HOw many newlywed 25 year olds spend the 2K a year for a 500K term life insurance policy?
I bet it is less than 10%.
People will game the game and it is naive to think they will not.
why would someone at 25, making only a modest salary, turn down FREE health insurance or nearly free health insurance? the affordability credits to buy insurance in varying amounts will be there to subsidize their insurance if the bill is what they say it is?
Point well made.
So lets look at 35.....making 100K.....7K is a nice chunk.....worth waiting until it is needed is not a bad idea.....
People game the game....happens all the time......for this to be done right, we need a single payer system or a public opotion. I do not want either, but I want HCR for those with pre-exisiting conditions....and the only way that will work is if we get rid of the insurance industry...not happy about it...but pre-exisiting condition issues have to come before what I lkike and dont like.
Every once in awhile there is a breakthrough.
Im glad to see you do have a heart and that your mind is not completely closed to the facts.
