EVERYONE should have health insurance in the US


That's nonsense. The US should be like every other industrialize nation in the world.

That's nonsense.

I don't want to wait 6 months for a /MRI/CT-scan or 12+ months for 'emergency' brain surgery.

If you're too cheap to buy insurance, it's your neck.

Funny that everyone is quick to point out the examples like these. I can't help but think they are more rare than people like to imply.

You are wrong.

As for the too cheap to buy insurance line, sorry we're not all millionaires. And if you're implying insurance is affordable to everyone I want to live in your world.

first webhit on Google - msnbc.com news story --
'According to comparisons from eHealth Insurance.com, the online market leader, a healthy family of four (thirty-something parents and school-age kids) can get a major-medical plan — with a $1,000 annual family deductible and co-payments of $30 per doctor’s visit and $10 for generic drugs — for about $400 a month.

The price falls to $200 a month with a $5,000 deductible.

A healthy 30-year-old single male can pay about $160 a month, or $50 with the higher deductible.'

If you are too cheap to pay $600/yr on his own HEALTH than I got no sympathy. Cancel your cellphone and HBO if you must, zomg!
If you are unable to obtain private insurance due to pre-existing conditions, [actually rare] your state will have a coverage plan that you can sign up for if you don't qualify for Medicare/Caid.
If you can't afford $50/mo because of low income, you would qualify for Medicaid anyway.

OP didn't want to pay up for insurance previously [as he specifically noted], and now wants society to pay the price for his poor decision-making, so he can keep playing poker.
GG OP!
