don't care about changing their lifestlyes smoking until their fingertips are yellow, people who are going to get drunk out of their minds, people who don't want to take personal responsibilty for their actions. F..k it someone else will pay so why stop? let's not don't worry about the single mother who can't make ends meet but now has another tax to pay. She does not count, drug addicts do. My objection is that is COSTS TOO MUCH simple. When people are taxed to death they become oppressed. I know we pay for it in other ways but about $5000 a year from my wallet is way too much I guess we won't agree on this Stop being Obama's tools

OK, forget about the human factor. Let's also put aside that others have tried to explain to you, with specific examples like with my wife, that those who get sick or need health care aren't necessarily those who've lived a reckless lifestyle. Put all that aside.
Let's talk strictly about costs.
America has the most expensive, least effective, least humane and most inefficient health care system in the developed world. Literally we pay the most and get the least.
Why?
First, our system is run by for-profit health insurance companies who have a vested interest to NOT provide health care. We've put foxes in charge of the chicken coup and wonder why they're eating all the chickens instead of taking care of them.
This is nothing short of insanity.
Second, said health insurance companies do nothing but be a useless middleman even at the best of times. They serve no purpose but to be a pest for both doctors and patients. They are parasites, not productive parts of the system.
Third, poor people who don't have health insurance will simply go without care until their problems become life threatening and then they go to the emergency room. By the time they do, what might have required only preventative care has ballooned into a costly fix. ...and guess who pays for that?
Hope this helps.
