Would you accept a lower quality level of health care to save money?

Obviously, this a nuanced question, but I could never hope to account for all the different types of situations. So I am going to ask the question generally.
 
Likely not. I'm willing to sacrifice the quality of a great number of things to save money. My health is not one of them.
 
We are already going to accept a lower quality of care, and it won't cost less.
 
Nope, and I don't like paying more to have my health care rationed off to people I frankly don't think deserve it, thank you mister Obama.

If some uninsured, unemployed douche has to die because I tore my rotator cuff, bummer for him. He can be a poster boy for decisions made in life.
 
For some things I would, and for others I wouldn't. Honestly, I think in some cases in the US, we're given a lot higher level of health care than we really need.

Having to pay a copay doesn't sit well with me - I don't have to go to the Dr often but when I do it seems to fall on the times when I just don't have the money to fork out.

So I haven't gone to a Dr for countless years - or a dentist for that matter. :doh
 

No. My usefulness to those around me, as well as my quality of life, is directly proportional to the state of my health.
 
Being as i have yet to chalk up $10k for a three day health screen @ the Mayo or Cleveland clinics, the only honest answer is yes.

Americans (myself included) do so every day.
 
Nope. Most things flow from a healthy body.
