Healthcare is expensive, but it's cheaper than medical care.

    You don't get it. Bricklayer takes care of himself and live a healthy life, that means he can't get cancer, unlike the other irresponsible, heart attack burger eating lefties, who are trying to get a piece of Bricklayer's hard earned money :).

    Somehow he doesn't get that HE is the irresponsible one, taking risk with other people's insurance payments, which will have to increase when Bricklayer gets sick despite his healthy lifestyle. And that's a question of when, not if.

    He thinks that he will just off himself when his saved health money runs out. Me thinks that this is HIGHLY unlikely, and that he will use other people's money to prolong his life just like anyone else would do.

    Silly libertarian dreams......

    I think our resident libs don't understand that a lowly bricklayer probably can afford to pay out of pocket for anything he damn well pleases, including cancer treatment.

    As for as taking risk with other people's insurance payments, do you support the BORDER WALL? Or do all those millions of illegals just never use our hospitals? That's what I thought.

    Don't deflect from the topic. You are another one of these "responsible" Trump voters, who like to stick the bill to someone else, should you get sick without having coverage. When push comes to shove, you are also not going to go quietly without incurring costs to the taxpayer and other insurance holders. You are going to hang on with every cent of other people's money, even if it prolong life for only a day.

    P.S.: Maybe a UHNWI has the means to self-insure, but they never would, because it would risk their stash and would be penny wise but pound foolish.

    Somehow, I doubt that Bricklayer is a UHNWI.

    Says the person who won't apply for citizenship but has been here for decades because they may lose their freebies in Germany.

    Deflecting again? Can't admit that not having health coverage is a lack of personal responsibility, that I, as a legal immigrant, may have to pay for with my health care premiums? Inconvenient facts, are they?
