So I'll go my whole life without paying for insurance... And then I get sick I'll demand the tax payers to subsidize my insurance.
Personal responsibility is all I advocate for. I know y'all shutter at the thought
No, you will be a good citizen by paying your part so when after a long life when you do get sick (and you will) your care will be insured.
And my grandchildren wont have to pay excessive insurance because of bloated ER costs by being burdened by your 3 AM dorm room economics
I think it is called "pay forward"
Pretty rational concept..
not all that revolutionary either

I have insurance. Thanks.
Meanwhile, you say pay forward as we have stolen $22t from future children - which you support
I take it that $22T is the debt

I'm as free market as the next guy, and Obamacare is probably going to fail, but I think pre-existing conditions should be covered by the government, just like people who have disabilities are covered.
1/3 of the population have a pre-existing condition. Have the government pay for that particular treatment or service, and let them purchase health insurance for the rest. You obviously don't want the government paying for colds or poor lifestyle choices and the like- we'd go bankrupt. But this is a grand compromise that any rich society would/should make.
Inject a little nuance into the debate and you'll find good solutions.

Almost 60 percent of Maine voters endorsed the expansion, making the first time that a state had approved the ACA’s Medicaid expansion through a ballot initiative.

Great news! Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the number of people
living in the U.S. without health insurance coverage hit an
ALL-TIME LOW of 8 percent this year.

Yes bc the affordable care act made it a crime not to have it.

This is one of the big underreported stories these days, namely that single payer systems are working far less well than they used to, including during the pandemic but not only. Eventually the blame will shift and will be put on something like “austerity,” whereas the deeper understanding was that those systems were bound to end up understaffed and undercapitalized all along. In any case, here is the latest from Sweden, circa summer 2022:
In 2000, around 100,000 Swedes had private health insurance. Today, there are seven times as many, in a country of 10 million people. In 60% of cases, the insurance is paid for by the employer. According to the Swedish insurers’ organization Svensk Försäkring, the rate can vary from 300 to 600 crowns on average per month. For those dealing with health problems, the advantages are quicker consultations and avoiding long waiting lines.
And that is from Le Monde, not the Heritage Foundation. The Canadian, British, and New Zealand systems are all in crisis too. But that narrative is not exactly tailor-made for today’s media environment…

What happens when you combine partisan politics with an unaccountable regulatory regime? You get the White House’s decision Tuesday to extend ObamaCare subsidies beyond what is legally permitted by tax law. The Biden administration’s new rule to remove what’s been cleverly framed as the “family glitch” is a political play that should worry anyone concerned with regulatory transparency in Washington.
As I’ve written in these pages, the White House has long sought to expand coverage on ObamaCare exchanges in this way. But the law is clear; it made subsidies for exchange plans available if the employee had to pay more than about 10% of income for a self-only plan. Basing subsidy eligibility on the cost of self-only coverage meant that families that had to pay more than 10% of income for a family plan lost out on the subsidy. This created the so-called family glitch—even though the vast majority of families in these situations were insured on an employer plan.
Not only does this rule lack statutory basis, it comes with a high price tag. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it is expected to cost $45 billion over the next decade as it pushes people off their employer plans to obtain heavily subsidized exchange plans. Few currently uninsured people will get coverage.

Ten years later, not a single person has faced
a death panel from Obamacare. On the other hand,
35 million people now have health care because of
the affordable care act
