Actually the point is those who "claim" they would go without it by choice, are either liars or would be a nuisance on the system when they get sick and then feel they should be treated and the rest of us have to pay for it because of their stupidity.
Simple solution: if you don't have insurance and you get sick, you don't get treatment. In order to receive treatment, you must show an ability to pay within a set amount of time. If you don't have the money, no treatment. And if you die, tough shit.
I have heard many people here state that they don't need health insurance because they are healthy. If they do get sick, then they will pay for it out of pocket, lmao. This is their right. I don't have a problem with that, they just shouldn't receive any treatment they can't pay for. The way it works now, these conservatives who demand their right not to be forced into purchasing insurance, will use the system to their advantage should they become sick. Then it will be their right for us to pay for them?
I see some people are slowly catching on to the novel idea of paying for service rendered.........
Are you always going to be able to cover the cost of some unexpected health problem out of pocket? Of course not. Are you always going to be able to cover the cost of that unexpected blown radiator on your car? Of course not. The point is you figure it out. Maybe you have to work out a payment plan. Maybe you put it on a credit card. Whatever. This whole people use the system and don't pay for it thing is a red herring. Last I checked the hospital, like anywhere else is capable of billing you.

See, here is the problem. It's a wonderful idea to say people can work out a payment plan or put it on a credit card. Unfortunately, in many cases we're not talking about a $300 radiator repair. My wife had leukemia and eventually lost her battle. Her medical bills, for the ten months she fought for her life, came to over $1.3 million. I don't know too many people who can afford a payment plan on $1.3 million.

I have no problem with the idea that people should pay out of pocket for basic medical care. But catastrophic insurance is needed for everyone should the worst happen. The problem we keep getting back to is that if people choose not to insure themselves when they are healthy, then should insurance companies be expected to cover them when they become sick?
Of course, in my case, the insurance companies denied me because I had to move out of state. I had insurance in one state, and when I moved, I was denied due to pre-existing conditions, and this was with the same company I had been insured with in the beginning. Part of the blame here falls on the politicians. Had they included individual policies for the self-employed in the HIPAA regulations, then this issue wouldn't exist. But here again, regulations must be put in place to force the insurance companies to do the right thing, because once you become sick in any way, they no longer want you. And if they can find a way to dump you, they will.
The worst thing about all of this is the simple fact that we are paying way too much for most services. And that is the fault of the insurance companies and providers both. All of my treatments to cover my health issues are now costing me 25% of what the insurance company paid when I was insured. Lab tests, trips to the infusion center, ultrasounds, and more, I pay cash and it only costs a quarter of what was being paid when I was insured.
