No. Being responsible for ones own health care means that you pay for it yourself without government intrusion into your life.
In theory yes but that does not always work in the real world.
You have a job and good insurance. You lose your job and your insurance. You cannot afford paying for insurance while not employed.
You have a heart attack and run up $300,000 in bills.
Who pays for it?
You make arrangements to pay it over time.
Do you understand how credit works. If I told you tomorrow to go out and get a $300,000 unsecured loan you would not get it. Hospitals and doctors cannot afford to be giving $300,000 loans to broke patients. They would go broke.
You would be imposing on the hospitals and doctors.
In a free market your solution is unacceptable.
