I don't have health insurance. I don't want it.

I can name 3 of my colleagues who don't have it, either. And don't
want it.


The truth is that no one is asking who REAlLY is in a Health Insurance
crisis, today, because no one is asking how many out of those raw
numbers is simply not interested in Health Insurance.


Everyone should be in the pool. Young people, healthy people, need
coverage for accidents and to pay in while they're healthy so there'll
be something for them when they get old.

What's wrong with replacing current insurers with Medicare? An
immediate 20% cost saving would be realized and no one would be rejected
for "pre-existing conditions". Tens of thousands of Americans die early
because of lack of health care. This is a major disgrace. The USA is
the only "developed" country without universal health care.
