So let’s discuss this.If the dummies copied the Medicare system of health care plans there would have been a lot less whining. People can get screwed if they get the wrong Medicare health care plan for their condition as well but they don't whine about it as much.
Pro
How is being forced to pay for health insurance different from being forced to pay for car insurance? When drivers were forced to pay for car insurance, did they make the same objections?
Con
How does being forced to pay for health insurance guarantee affordable health care? When I went to their website to see what they were offering. The premium was low but the deductible was so high you’d have to be half dead before the insurance kicked in.
If a person is in good health he can take a chance and go with the cheapest plan. But if something happens and he gets sick he had better have some extra cash on hand to cover the bills.
If a person has been sickly then he should fork over the cash for the best plan available in order to get the most benefits at the lowest overall cost. His monthly premiums will be expensive but he will save money when he ends up in the hospital flat on his back with a serious illness.
