It is kind of amazing some people think health costs are like buying a car or any other commercial proposition (eg: all the insurance co-sponsored posts on Youtube, by varying “people”). You can plan to buy a car or a house: it’s your own responsibility and your money allocation–but you can’t plan a medical affliction. Not the same. I simply note one anti-health plan person on Ytube had her two fave videos as a) a revolver shooting into a tank, and b) a clip of Milton F’man on “Greed”. True!!
True , bed rest costs for example are over 40 times the cost (adjusted for inflation) they were in 1948. Not adjusted for inflation it’s something like 350+ times the cost. The joining between government and health care is what has jacked up prices in every area of medicine. The AMA would not have anywhere near the power that it does if the government didn’t recognize them as supreme. The government also forces all sorts of mandates, regulations and subsidies which drive up costs.
I think everyone should have your attitude. I have health insurance but haven’t been to the hospital in 2 years. I would be just as happy with no health insurance. I rather have no health insurance than have the government force it down my throat. I also don’t do jury duty and will never do it, I don’t like the government telling me “you shall report for jury duty”. My only civic duty is to pay taxes, I won’t do more than that. Little scared people do everything the government tells them to do.
If u wanna save money, start with genetic engineering. As long as people have average intelligence and more or less random health situations noone will win.
Im sorry but Health Insurance is a nessecity, its just like car insurance because even if you say well I take care of my car i wash it, i tune it up, i do all thats needed whether u relize it or not ull find urself in a car crash with no way to pay, just like if u got a really serious illness and u dont know how to treat it, so I’m sorry but health insurance should be legal, oh, and btw i dont know what ur talking about but the countrys on the top of national health are the ones WITH nhc.
for a man of your age, it is probably not a good idea to not have health insurance. And i dont think it is so bright to get your health policy information from Glen Beck.:)
What will you do if all of a sudden you come down with heart problems or cancer etc….Can happen to anyone at anytime…you won’t have health insurance. In fact, you look a little rough, and not very healthy. I don’t think all your’re eating is doing you any good.
unless you dont have serious cash, a house, a 401k, and assets to protect, insurance is a good idea. heres wishing you a broken bone with full health recovery. After you’ve recovered, and cry in your beer about your bill you might change you’re attitude.
All I can say is I hope your good health continues. Some people are not that fortunate and live with chronic illnesses where they must seek ongoing medical care. I, for one, can’t imagine paying full price out of pocket for that care. I rely on medical insurance to pay the large portion of those expenses. So I guess I would be one of the people stressing if I lost coverage and rightly so.
EVERYONE needs some kind of health insurance.
Life is unpredictable..being by being in an accident or coming down with a sickness. If this happens medical bills or care got to be paid,either by a paid into health plan or by the taxpayers.
When the congress, the House, and the President agree to the same exact medical care they are trying to push off on us, then maybe someone would listen. Of course they would never accept what they are trying to force down the general pop’s throats!
You sound way to happy about collapse man. I can understand being happy at the way things have been the past 40 years but you have to keep in context that in that collapse is real peoples lives collapsing too.
I’m a very fit and healthy 43 year old. Can’t remember last time I was sick but have broke my leg, my arm, my nose, my orbit (bone around the eye), dislocated my shoulder and hip and suffered serious head and spinal injuries. These have been as a result of various auto and motorcycle wrecks and sports and mountainbike accidents. All treatment was free of charge and I don’t carry insurance. It helps that I live in the UK where we get universal free healthcare.
And if you get in car accident your screwed. Nothing happens to anyone, until it happens. Only reason you would not car about health insurance is if you have no money. Medical bills can pile up very quickly.
Hey MOT. A very strange way to find out about water and my body. Because I’m now taking care of my 88 yr old dad in his apartment i have to sleep on the couch nights. I don’t want to wake him when going through his room to the bathroom so i had to piss in a bottle for a couple of nights. When in the morning I could gauge how much water I lost during the night alone I was shocked. First thing I do now when I wake up is drink 10 ounces of water IMMEDIATELY.Ha ha

Wow…what an arrogant prick…did he ever take into account people that get into car accidents or people that get cancer?
How about people whose children have medical issues? Yes, some people do need health insurance that can’t afford, good job making yourself look like a total asshole Manoftruth…..jackass.
Hey MoT, I just realized that you are contributing to our mythical healthcare crisis. We are constantly told that there are 47 million Americans without health insurance. The implication is that these 47 million people are suffering every day. They never tell you that a great many of the 47 million uninsured are this way voluntarily, and are in good health.
20 cost 27.80 / 20 = 1.39 per cu yard
40 cost 61.00 / 40 = 1.53 per cu yard
60 cost 127.30 / 60 = 2.12 per cu yard
I am happy to hear that you conserve, but there is no incentive to consume more, not does the the system encourage waste. Just setting the record straight.

Carefulcarpenter – Your calculations are flawed and your message / analogy is wrong. Dead wrong.
The fixed cost to bring water to your property must be excluded for the calcs.
As per numbers provided, you pay more as you consumption increases and so it should be. cont…..
