As a young healthy person I don't any of my insurance money to pay for sick people. I think I should get a rebate. It should be free if I don't use it. But if I get sick I don't want to pay anything. Retards. This is how insurance works. Your insurance pays for other other peoples treatment if you are not sick. If you get sick then it pays for you. If you want to set up a savings account that you can only use for health care you are free to do that, just hope you don't get some crazy form of cancer.

The article is not about disliking ever having to pay for one's healthcare.

I live in a hurricane zone, so my coverage should reflect that. Are you saying I should have to buy earthquake insurance to pay for those who choose to live on the San Andreas Fault?

I need a plan that reflects my risks - a health plan and a home plan.

Not to mention the stupidity of requiring that all health insurance plans pay for all maintenance. I don't expect my car insurance to pay for oil changes, so why do you expect for your health insurance to cover the Pill? Insurance if for Bad Stuff.

That is not Health Insurance. That is Free Healthcare. Not the same thing at all.

Healthcare was a lot cheaper when it wasn't free.

This election season, perhaps in an attempt to win the so-called women’s vote, the marketing efforts for Obamacare targeted my gender. “Thanks to the Affordable Care Act,” Representative Nancy Pelosi and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius cheered in one editorial, “a new day for women’s health has arrived.” They’re referring to the provision that all health plans must now include coverage for contraception and other women’s services—and must do so without charging co-pays or deductibles for them.

Given that I have two X chromosomes and am not Catholic, you might be surprised to learn that I’m...
