Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125]
People tend to forget how much it's going to cost them should they suddenly get kidney disease, cancer or the like, and not have insurance...and not just that, but the price Americans already pay when uninsured people get sick and cant pay their bills. Hospitals donate cases as 'charity' while other patients end up filing bankruptcy..both of which are added to everyone else's medical bills.
(For more than financial reasons) it makes sense to require health insurance.
$650 a year in order to have guarunteed coverage for all pre-existing conditions, sounds like a good deal to me.
