Stop this. The cost of healthcare is a few dollar co-pay. If you're poor you get Medicaid. If you're older, you get Medicare.

So, what exactly is your point? That if you're not poor or old, and you are too lazy or cheap to buy insurance, we should feel sorry you having to pay $100 to have your child taken care of? What an amazing sense of entitlement you have.



You're at least an order of magnitude low on that estimate.

Also, where I am, you don't get medicaid if you don't have a disability or a kid. From 20-65 you're screwed, no matter how poor.

Downvote? Why?

Because most of these folks have probably never had to choose between rent, gas, and seeing a doctor.
