Good to see you again, sir. 

I disagree. Your argument is fallacious. It would be sound if the other insurance competitors weren't the same. Therefore, there are no other options. 

Pay cash? I think you don't know how much healthcare costs.

Thank you - good to post a little here today.

I do know how much healthcare costs.  I just don't believe that anyone is entitled to free healthcare, that's all. See, I'm old-school.  I believe that if you want something then you pay for it.  I am not a Socialist/Communist.  I do not believe the state or anyone else owes me "free stuff", even if it would serve to prolong my natural life.

Everyone dies.  I will die and so will you.  We all die at different times.  Is this fair? No - its just how we're made.  And, those who are not social-justice "everyone must be equal" a-holes accepts this as part of life.  So, if you or I want doctors to take care of our problems, each of us is ultimately responsible for making sure those doctors get paid for their services.  Some choose to buy expensive healthcare plans to pay the bills.  Others buy cheap health insurance or go without health insurance, and they are expected to pay for what they want and use. And, then others rely on their employer to pay for their healthcare.  I say - "don't look a gift-horse in the mouth" - you get what you pay for!
