How does health insurance work?  You get a bunch of people together and buy insurance from a company.  The more people who buy insurance the lower the premiums everyone has to pay.  So when you get sick you don't have to pay the full amount of the bill.

Health insurance is wealth redistribution.  It robs the healthy and redistributes the money to the sick.

You're all a bunch of filthy socialists!

Great point, about the socialistic nature of Insurance as a thing.  However, voluntarily choosing to join a group to share and offset costs with, is much different than the Government mandating that everyone join a group to offset the cost of the bums that won't pay.

In a few years, I should be able to afford to fund my own health savings account, and be eligible to opt out as self-insured.  Otherwise, I would like to find one of those cash only, no insurance accepted care provider groups.
