re: #483 Obdicut

The point is that it isn’t just your business alone; if you, without health insurance, are involved in a car accident and rushed to the hospital, unconscious, and have millions of dollars of life saving work provided for you— which I would definitely want done for you— and are unable to pay for it, then that debt will be spread out amongst those people who do pay for health insurance, and amongst the tax payers who pay for subsidies for hospitals, doctor training, etc.

That’s leaving out that it’s in my best interest for you to get regular checkups to avoid spreading contagious diseases, etc.

No man is an island, and there are few places that’s truer than healthcare.

And smart ass, how do you know what I get done medically or not? If you have this progressive need to delve into MY business, then here’s the rundown. I have paid for all my check ups and standard maintenance procedures since I was laid off from the DOE, and that includes all the little recommended items that go along with a person my age.

And no man is my keeper. I take care of what needs to be taken care of, and I don’t cost anyone. And if you have paid attention to my comments over the years (months, whatever), you know I am a big proponent of self sufficiency. If I have to live out of the trunk of my car I will, before asking the public for anything.

You don’t know me, stop trying to judge my character and how I exist. Heal yourself.
