Perhaps you are very well off and can write a check for whatever
medical expenses you need. Or perhaps you don't expect to have any
serious health issues.

But for most middle-class Americans, a serious illness or injury to
themselves or a family member could wipe them out financially if they
did not have health insurance. I make a good salary, but I wouldn't
risk my family's well-being by not having health insurance.

By the way, Obama's health plan (unlike Hillary's) is not mandatory,
so you won't have to be part of it if you don't want to be.
