Ever think that maybe those people don't want health insurance? I've considered not getting it myself since I haven't seen a doctor or taken prescription medicine in over a decade. The only reason I get it is because it's cheap and tax-deductible. Still, over the past decade I've wasted about $10,000 on it. Compounded with stock market returns, that's $16,000. Since bypass surgery costs about $25,000 (according to Google), just the money I wasted on insurance almost covers the cost of that operation...and I'm nowhere close to being old enough to need it. It would probably be smarter if I just invested the money. So not only is your argument flawed, but the whole notion of the necessity of compulsory health care is flawed as well.

I know they'll almost certainly want their heart fixed if it develops a problem. It's no good telling me that health insurance is too expensive: if I was in charge health care would be free and universally accessible (not for cosmetic surgery and such). Steve

Hitler thought a lot of things. Congratulations on dragging Godwin's law in so quickly though.
