I have only history to go by and historically the insurance companies acted reasonably and didn't prohibit people without health insurance from paying for their own medical bills. The problems started when the government interferred with the 90% income taxes in the 40's and companies having to resort to using health insurance as compensation to protect their worker's wages from income taxation. Also, since I'm a Constitutionalist *points to avatar* there is no provision in the Constitution of the United States for the federal government to mandate to the people to buy a good or face severe penalties.
Really. Support this reasonableness. They have a large buracracy with tons of paper work that has always seemed deisigned to frustrate the poplace so as to not be covered when they need it, as long as we're going with our perceptions instead of documented evidence.
I don't believe you have an accurate view of the history of health insurance. But feel free to offer some support, and they type you asked for, not opinion, but actual evidence.
