I get what your saying I feel the same way in 2009 I was laid off my job I could only spend what money I had to make it day to day. If the Gov forced me to pay for cobra or insurance I would have been up a creek with no $$$.
But I do see that there are circumstances were making insurance coverage mandatory is invaluable. Theres a story in National Geographic were a man blew himself up while making Meth, he was unconscience and required skin graphs for 90% of his body. Total cost for him to recover is going to be over a million dollars, Obviously he did not have insurance, Part of the cost will be covered by the hospitals charity but the most will be covered by the states low income financial assistance programs, which in turn come out of our Tax dollars.
Its not my choice to pay for some dbag meth head to recover but the way the system is now we as tax payers dont have a choice.
There also people who use our Emergencies as regular hospitals. Utah has law that states Emergencies cannot refuse service due to no insurance. So im sure those costs in one way or another get pushed to paying patients.
I too am not a politician, but I do know something need to change. And in some shape or form these costs are going to be pushed to tax payers obama care or not.
