I have no health insurance. As a student you would think I could get affordable insurance from the university but it's not worth the money I'd have to pay. If I need to go to the doctor I pay cash. So far I've managed to do fine. I know that not having insurance is a bad decision on my part, given that I take part in a lot of dangerous activities (ie racing sport bikes) but I just can't afford to put out the money. When I get done here and am running my own business full time I know I will have to buy my own insurance, and I will at that point. But when I have no income, it's just not worth it.
As much as I hate how expensive insurance is though, I maintain that public health care is not the solution.
