Other nations have already shown how this saves money. Look at post #39.
The top 3 countries as far as per capita total expenditure on health:
All socialized.

Okay, I don't know what a per capita breaks down into someone's wallet. But again, I don't see how I'm "saving" money by paying into a system that I'm not utilizing.
And I didn't say I wanted to, please stop with the drama. I'm suggesting that where is the freedom to opt out. The basis for all of this country is the freedom to be in or out of the system as one sees fit for themselves.
I have had a number of friends who in their 20s to 30s didn't have any need for major insurance. Maybe Jazz can elaborate on some of those statistics. And, yes it is folly to do so, but it is again a choice.
I'd pay into a system as it stands now but I'm sure it's going to cost me more in this socialized system. Again, how is it that this saving me money?
