- stanleydrew 10y agoYes that would be the standard reply. But the point is to shift the terms of the discussion away from choice vs non-choice and towards the realization that you're not making a choice at all. Someone is making a choice for you.
- thephyber 10y agoWhile they wouldn't be wrong, I think one of the huge distortions in the US health insurance market is that most of us get our health insurance through our companies. It distorts & hides costs, and it prevents employees from leaving for fear of health coverage uncertainty.
- costcopizza 10y agoI agree. Employers don't pay for a number of other insurances, why should health be different?
