re: #501 Walter L. Newton

And smart ass, how do you know what I get done medically or not?

I don’t. That’s why I gave an example where you were unconcious; that choice would be taken away from you.

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.

I’m glad to hear it.

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 would not have the choice, if you were injured severely and were unconscious. Many people have awoken to medical bills.

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

I have made no judgements on your character whatsoever in this. I’m pointing out that, in the case of an accident that rendered you unconscious, you could receive medical care that you are unable to pay for, and that therefore, getting some form of health insurance is a good idea.
