Why Have Medical Insurance?

I have no idea what you are talking about. I went to the doctor, found out I had an allergy, got *appropriate* treatment for the allergy and now recognize the symptoms so I can deal with it myself rather than putting up with feeling like I have a cold. Is there something wrong with that just because it only happens once in 10 years?

As I said, I thought I had something serious. I didn't know if it was strep throat or even cancer. I just knew I had never had this before and it was *bad*.

WTF are you talking about? How did my ONE doctor visit cost you "big bucks"? That's why I have insurance, so I can get medical care when I need it and not worry if it is going to cost me a lot.

Arguably yes, but, before Obamacare, he was able to do it for one-third of what it costs him today.

It's not the country that "allowed" it. Kids have parents who made them. Parents are expected to provide food, love, and guidance for the children they make.

But even so, something like a third of of American kids are on Medicaid. (42%, in "progressive" California.)

By which you mean that a man shall be required to support other mens' children, even if it means taking from his own to do it.

As a matter of simple statistics, most children are quite healthy and their medical costs minimal. What they need protection from is socialism, a political system that's a far greater threat to their long-term health and welfare.

That's how health insurance works.

James Arthur types "socialism" and means "communism". When asked to point o ut how it damages peoples long-term health and welfare, he points of East G ermany (which isn't there any more) rather than Scandinavia and Germany, wh ere health and welfare are distinctly better than they are in the USA.

Those are precisely the visits that should be ancouraged, else you get epidemics...
