Guest[quote=NeetaT]In my opinion, healthcare is not a right. Healthcare is a service that is priced via supply and demand just like other goods and services. No one will ever agree with me, but I know that if there was no such thing as health insurance, prices for health services would adjust to average income, thus more people could afford it out of pocket. Those who claim they can’t afford healthcare costs are the same people who can somehow find a way to buy a new car or go on a lavish vacation. All I can say is please “Kill the Bill” so that I am not fleeced for more taxes. I will gladly pay for my own healthcare thank you.[/quote]
Let me guess: You have insurance supplied by your employer and/or you have no health issues, right?
Were you older with heart disease or some other “pre-existing condition” that rendered health insurance unaffordable you might feel differently.
Hopefully when you grow up and have a family you won’t have any children with health problems either. Having to fight for coverage for a child born with a health condition is no fun.
But I’m sure you’re young, buff and vital so that’s no issue for you. Be sure to marry well to someone else who’s young, strong and healthy. And if any of your children appear to be defective while in the womb, just abort them. The “master race” and all.
Oh…did I mention that you couldn’t have any pre-existing conditions like injuries from skiing, or athletic activities? If you work for a small business (and you sound like a big proponent of self-sufficiency and small business) you won’t be able to get coverage for “pre-existing” conditions. That would mean you’d actually have to pay for your own healthcare!!!!
But I’m sure you already know all of that seeing as how you’re an insurance expert

Participant” Does basic include a $250K brain surgery that will likely extend life for one year?”
This is really the crux of the problem. Why should it cost $250,000 FOR AN OPERATION? I KNOW HEART BYPASS OPERATIONS ARE ALSO EXHORBITANTLY EXPENSIVE, why? I know many people will say it’s because of medical malpractice insurance, are our doctors that incompetent, I don’t think so but maybe I am wrong. Antbody out there care to explain why an operation can cost in the neighborhood of $100,000? I don’t get it!

Participant“Were you older with heart disease or some other “pre-existing condition” that rendered health insurance unaffordable you might feel differently.”
No insurance company should have to be forced to cover someone with a pre-existing condition. That’s like forcing someone to place a bet on the worst game in the casino. If someone in my community is facing hard times and can’t afford medical treatment, I will be more than happy to donate funds along with others in the community. I am a compassionate person, but when it comes to more taxation, I have to draw the line.
