There is nothing wrong with insurance … provided you can say no to it. Then it’s like any other thing you choose to buy.
Whether it makes sense to buy it – a subjective value judgment, by the way – isn’tthe point. Exercise makes sense, too.
The point is – or should be – if insurance is something you want, or feel the need of – then you have the right to choose to buy it.
What you haven’t got is the right to force others to buy it – and thereby take away their free choice.
Insurance at gunpoint is dark and vicious. Anything that involves pointing guns at other people (who haven’t pointed a gun at you first) is necessarily a dark and evil thing. Someone – it doesn’t matter which specific individual does the wet work – is threatening to harm you unless you hand over money for something you do not wish to buy.

I've said all along that the easiest way to get health care costs down would be to OUTLAW health insurance.
Think it through
That's all well and good until you become severely injured or terminally ill, and the state has to take care of your ass. See what happens when a hospital refuses treatment .
The cost would drop dramatically if it wasnt for insurance. I agree. It would disrupt the current status quo but the cost would certainly plummit.

If you are terminally ill then you are terminally ill.
