Like with car insurance, when it effects someone else. We all pay for the irresponsible in health care.
Then why isn't car insurance mandated for everyone? After all not everyone drives but may still ride in a car.
I tell you, there are more expensive things out there than that. A lot more. Things you cannot pay for that way and actually get it paid.
The only things like that would have to cost over a million dollars. Know anything like that? Besides if you happen to die before the bill is paid off then that is what life insurance is for. Why isn't that mandated? Baring not having that then the bills go to your spouse/children. I have no problem with paying for my parents left over bills after they die. After all they spent money on me for 18 years, never asking for anything in return beyond my love.
Yes, it helps the insurance companies. But it helps Joe blow as well. He doesn't have to pay for those who abuse the system. Instead, he takes responsibility and plans for what could happen. And while it is possible to pay more than you will receive, it is just as possible to receive more than you'll ever pay. The point and the responsible thing is to be prepared.
Then close up the holes that allow the others to abuse the system. That is what personal repsonsibility is about. And the responsible thing to do is pay your own bills.
