Sorry, using the hide bbcode isn't something I remember to do all the time. I tend to forget when I'm doing too many things. I was trying to look it up and then forgot to do that. Thanks for the reminder.
will talk about stubborn.
$120,000 surgery. No one has that kind of cash sitting about. It doesn't mean one doesn't still pay for it. Hospital billing departments all the time work out payment plans. Otherwise what's the point of saving someone's life it you're just going to eventually put them out on the street.
Also, it isn't the extreme cases which you love to banter about as though it's the everyday occurrance to everyone. It isn't. We're talking about the regular day to day as well.
Again as I stated in the sicko thread, my lack of paying premiums versus how much healthcare services I used I came out ahead:

No I did not go to the doctor. I did not go to any hospital, I did not get any prescription drugs. Medical insurance does not cover buying Tylenol nor Nyquil. So explain to me how I would have more money in my pocket if I paid into a system that I did not want pay into? I wanted to pay my bills at that time, choosing insurance was $50 out of my paycheck every 2 weeks, $100 each month. When I was making $700 take home a month, how is paying $100 having more money in my pocket?
Again, I CHOOSE to forgo participating in the system. How is that fair to be forced to participate where I don't want to?
Edit: Sorry I forgot when I was 23 and had no insurance I was run over on Route 4 in NJ on my motorcycle. My bills were paid for by the person's insurance that hit me.

Even if I was to have paid for those injuries myself, which amounted to $2,500. I still came out ahead with more money in my pocket. Being forced to pay for something equals less money in my pocket.
