Suggesting that one should have freedom from medical care should mean that they want freedom from police care, fire protection, disaster relief, use of public roads, and air. How about you stop paying taxes, and thus you stop using all that which the government affords you? How about the military stops protecting your family? How about you stop complaining?How about you stop being so selfish? I don't hear anyone complaining about having to pay taxes to the firemen come when there's a fire... at someone else's house!
I alone pay $515 a month. Not a year, a month. And $25 co-pay just to see a doctor. Why? Because I have a "preexisting condition". I'm not any more likely to need medical care, but that's irrelevant. If I left my healthcare provider, I could not get coverage in the US (cept by the worst companies out there that would require me to pay for most of any potential surgery). The funny thing is that in 50 years, I could pay for a $300,000 surgery.
The free market doesn't work with healthcare. It doesn't work with the military. It doesn't work with fire or police protection. It doesn't work with prisons. Get over the propaganda your community college economics teacher instilled in you about how the free market can solve all our problems and let's actually fix this.
