[quote=no_such_reality][quote=mike92104]I wonder if we should go the opposite route. Basic health care is the individuals responsibility. No insurance, just straight out of pocket. That way everybody has to consider the cost of everything. If you should get some awful disease that couldn’t be directly linked to poor lifestyle choices, and couldn’t afford the treatment, the the govt plan could cover you.[/quote]
Everything can be thought of as a poor lifestyle choice, especially living basically anyplace in SoCal where you have frequent unhealthy air, unhealthy commutes, and too much stress.[/quote]
Well then I guess nobody qualifies. Seriously though, I think most people understand what I meant. One example would be a smoker who has developed lung cancer.
