A Usenet persona calling itself wrote:
Some employers don't give you the option of not paying for health
insurance, in the US. When I lived in the US, my two employers
provided health insurance, but you had to participate in their plans,
if you were a full tiime employee. It wasn't an option. Most big
employers
get the rates that they have from the insurance companies by promising
them a certain amount of revenue in premiums.
So, find another employer if you don't like it...
What's more, if you are an average working Joe, it's a complete waste
of
money because if you get *really* ill, and require emergency
life-saving
care in the US, you will get it. You can't be turned down by any
federally-funded hospital if it's a matter of life and death.
And you could lose your entire savings and your home when they send
you the $150,000 bill for your emergency life saving care.
Yup, sure could. Good reason to "judgment proof" yourself in advance, isn't
it?
