They don't go to the doctor because they think they are invincible. That's the reason they were made to pay for health insurance ironically to help offset those who were old and sick. They are not in the habit of going to the doctor for regular checkups, they are now just required to pay way more then they did before. It's been that way for generations which is why the government needed to bring them in collectively to offset the costs of the elderly.
It's also a great way to get yourself into massive medical debt when you have a car crash and need $100,000 worth of surgery.
Quote:Ironically the biggest Bernie Sanders supporters who constantly texts me either don't have health care and get paid under the table with cash and don't pay the fine, or just pay the fine and don't have health care. Not saying you are a Bernie supporter, but just thought it was interesting because these people always tell me everyone needs to pay for health insurance, when they don't themselves.
Take any political group and look hard enough and you'll find hypocrites. I am a Bernie Sanders supporter and I pay for my insurance, and I think everyone should or get it for "free". I don't agree with people being paid under the table as it's no better than what the rich do to hide away their money from being taxed.
Fair enough. I honestly don't have much against most Bernie supporters. I live in Madison Wisconsin and I'm a minority Trump supporter. It does piss me off however how so many bartenders don't pay taxes because they don't report their tips. I know some that with salary make 6 figures, but report a small fraction.
Just to share a story, a good friend saw some guy die today. Was driving down the highway and a car went sideways, overturned into the wall, flipped up and went the opposite direction and flew the other way into the guardrail, a few cars in front of him. Passenger staggered out, but the driver died unfortunately.
Another story, is last Friday, my buddy went to his grandmas, and found her murdered. Hit in the head with a hammer or something by someone she was letting stay with her. Fucked up!
Not that it has anything to do with the convo, but just sharing some stories.
