ObamaCare?

[MentalGiant]

Now your getting the picture! Stop fucking coddling people and let them deal with the consequences of their own fucking actions.

It's not an issue of getting the picture, I already got the picture.  I don't like the picture.  I don't see what place it has in our healthcare system.

You don't HAVE to opt out, but if you do, you deal with the consequences. Simple.

Not simple.  I can't refuse you treatment on the grounds you've offered.  I could be complicit in killing you.......

I'm an adult, and I'm capable of making my own informed decisions. Let me lie in the bed I made for myself, I don't need the government to tuck me in, read me a story and watch me as I sleep in the name of "my own good". People are to fucking overly sensitive and soft these days and it's sending society straight down the toilet. The ACA is a step in a very dangerous direction and treading a very thin line into governmental control over your physical body. Every life is not special, we're all going to die and people just need to fucking get over their fear of pain and death.

Yes, you are an adult, but clearly that doesn;t stop you from making poor choices, such as opting out on the grounds that you are willing to pay for your medical care out of pocket.  

I also think those who make detrimental choices in regards to their lifestyle (i.e. druggies, alcoholics, the morbidly obese by choice, smokers ect...) should not receive funds from the taxpayer pool either. Poor choices shouldn't be rewarded and/or encouraged. The ONLY people I think should be unequivocally required to have insurance and healthcare are children and minors under 18 since they are not of an age to make informed decisions about their healthcare. Let adults chose for themselves, and deal with their choices (which may be getting turned away if they can't pay, their choice not to hold insurance after all).

Perhaps we shouldn't give funds to people who prefer magic over medicine either........

I'm getting you also don't support assisted suicide or the right to die either? W're all special snowflakes and should prolong the inevitable as long as humanly possible regardless of quality of life or individual wishes bullshit? If I can tick a box that says you can legally harvest my organs should I die (a definite non-no otherwise), a DNR that states I do not want to be resuscitated in the event my heart stops (another scenario a doctor would otherwise be complicit in killing me if I did not sign off on), why can't I sign something that says I willingly accept that I will not be provided medical treatment except on a cash up front basis, therefore removing all liability from a doctor who then refuses treatment based on my inability to pay? I very seriously doubt many people would opt out on those terms, but it needs to be an option for those adults who choose to. Everyone else can be part of the system where they pay in and get healthcare of the variety they choose.
