ObamaCare Is A Crime
"ObamaCare" is a Scam!
Ad Verbera

Currently, I do not have health insurance, and, quite frankly, I don't give a shit. I'm young, fairly healthy, and not very likely to need a lot of medical services.

If I need to go to the doctor, I just go to the doctor. The visit costs under $100, which usually entails giving up a night of sushi, sake, and a movie with the girlfriend. Of course, if I'm sick, I'm more than likely inclined to stay home anyway, and the problem of cost solves itself.

And if I need a prescription, I get it filled at Wal-Mart (yes.... Wal-Mart..) for less then the cost of a co-payment that a patient would make through his or her HMO for the same drug.

Do I really need health insurance? Probably not.

If I really wanted health insurance, I could get it. A plan would cost me about $100 a month, and based on the quotes I've gotten before, it would cost me even less than that. Again, if I wanted the insurance, and felt it was a priority, I could actually afford it. I'd simply have to sacrifice going out about one night a month.

If I can afford it now (with a little sacrifice...) then why don't I just get an insurance plan? There's a couple of reasons why I don't.

First, I'd be ripping myself off. If a doctor visit is about $100, but in a year's time, I've only gone once - for a check up, let's say - it will only cost me a Benjamin. But if I pay $100 a month for the same 12 month period, and visited the doctor's only the one time, I've basically overpaid $1,100 for the same visit. That's money I would've been better off spending elsewhere.

Secondly, if I'm paying into an insurance plan that I rarely use, how do I know that other people on the same plan are not using medical services more frequently than I am? I know, personally its none of my business what other people do, but I think it would be safe to assume that some people may be using medical services more frequently than others if it doesn't affect their wallet directly. So if an insurance company is there to defray those "out-of-pocket" costs, then it would be more than likely that medical services would be used frivolously. And since an insurance company does nothing more than pay for one's medical services through a pool of capital generated by a group of individuals paying a monthly premium, it would logically follow that insurance premiums would rise to compensate for the losses incurred from overly frivolous visits. If this causes my rate to go up another $20 a month, I'd not only be ripping myself off even further, but also allowing others to do so as well.

What is really bothersome about Obama's health care plan, is that he doesn't leave me the choice of being ripped off or not. Its simply government replacing the insurance companies, leaving me with no choice but to pay for a plan (via tax increases..) that I, in all likelihood, will rarely ever use, and in reality, will be paying for other people's frivolous use.

Obama thinks we're all stupid and do not have the ability to rationally think and take action in our own best interest. I find it insulting, and even more so that he wants to rip me off to prove his point. Who the fuck does he think he is, anyway? The fucking "Messiah"?

This only one of many reasons that I'm against Obama's health care plan. It has also become quite obvious that only those leaning towards supporting it are practicing intellectual sloth. They'd rather leave the most important decision making of their own lives up to others. Only two kinds of people support ObamaCare - the intellectually lazy, and the intellectually active who mistakenly believe they can make society better through the control of other people's money and lives.

Quite frankly, that's just fucking sick!
