We do pay for our healthcare. We don't pay for health insurance. I get the general point you're making and I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I do think it's important to distinguish between the two in order to have a productive exchange.
- senordevnyc 11mo agoBut you wouldn't pay for your healthcare if you had a major event that cost $500k+. The rest of us would be left holding the bag. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, but I do think we need a system everyone is a part of paying for, via health insurance mandate, single payer, etc. Or we let people opt out completely, to where a family like yours just wouldn't receive care if you can't pay for it, but I don't think this is the world we want to live in.
