Isnt it 1 in 3 , 1 in 2 ? chance of getting cancer I don't think its accidents you need to worry about

If you don't have a horrible accident then it's cheaper to not carry insurance. If you do, then the hospital isn't allowed to turn you away, so you get treatment anyways. So do the smart and selfish thing and don't have insurance if you don't have to. Of course if we allowed hospitals not to care for people who couldn't pay, then you'd see everybody buying insurance, but politicians won't let us do that because, "It's too cruel!" So then they use the drain cause by people making the smart decision not to get insurance as justification for compulsory insurance.

You know what the cheapest way to care for sick people who can't pay is? Not to.

Happily, you are an unimportant minority...

Drudge is a multimillionaire, if he gets sick or injured he can afford the bill. Plus he doesn't have to go through any insurance regulations. Being rich, he probably wouldn't go to any lowbrow doctor covered by an insurance plan anyways.
