As opposed to the US system, where, if you are one of the nearly 50
million without health insurance ........snip

That is a misleading statement. How many of those without health
insurance are in that category based on *their* decision not to
carry
it
even though they can afford it? How many because they cannot afford
it?


Considering the cost of hospital care, I think that if you CHOSE not
to
have
health insurance, and you could afford it, then "can afford it" has to
mean
you're fabulously wealthy, or have a terminal disease and figure
insurance
is pointless anyway.


Nope. I never carried health insurance until I got married. My
choice. I was not wealthy but I could certainly afford it. When you
are young you are invincible........or so you think so. ;-)


Oh. I thought you were talking about normal people. You're talking about
numbskulls blinded by images of constant beer and pussy.

Trying to carry on an adult level conversation with you is impossible
Doug. I gave it a shot but you keep proving my theory is correct.

Have a nice day Doug but I am done with you for a while. Maybe I will
give you another chance in a month or so.


All males between the ages of 17 and 25 fit the category I described, unless
they're gay, in which case, you can substitute "badly flavored martinis and
naked men".
