Yes at all, people led by the thinking of Obama think they should have NO medical cost including elective birth control. Medical insurance is not insurance anymore it is just cost shifting.
no they dont, righties think medical insurance is somehow a form of welfare, even though most people get it is compensation from our employer.
Do you seriously think that auto insurance and homeowners insurance is analogous to health insurance? Those are more comparable to "life insurance". Health insurance, or medical insurance as you suggested, is EXACTLY for the maintenance aspects of health. Fixing a broken arm, medication to mitigate a problem. Viagra if a male's penis just doesn't have the same fluff. These are medical concerns just as controlling the timing of a pregnancy.
its a medication prescribed by a doctor.... but lets compare it to food ? my doctor doesnt prescribe burgers to me....does yours?
Medical insurance has always been about cost shifting based on statistics. A dirty little secret is that the health insurers are primarily investors but we won't go into that complicated aspect of the health insurance industry.
Not anymore. Now, that's not what it was in the past and that is part of the problem. It is not insurance anymore. In the past if I went to the doctor for a cold I paid him for it out of pocket. If I had a broken arm or a MAJOR health problem, THEN insurance helped defray part of that cost, just like with auto insurance.

I've never went to the doctor for just a cold so I have no way to confirm or deny your statement. So let's say that your doctor runs some tests and determines that you have blockages in several blood pathways that will likely lead to a massive heart attack within a year or so. Is he going to just send you on your way or start treatment for those issues even though no heart attack has yet occurred?
You do by choice. ObamaCare would require you to have insurance whether you want it, need it, or not. Doesn't that government intrusion concern you at all?
if the ER is going to be required to treat me.....regardless of if I ahve insurance or money....then I think thats only reasonable. the only people who dont need insurance are those who already have it or believe God will heal them.
And how do you expect those po' people to pay for their own health insurance? You can't because they can't. So who will eventually pay for it in the end? Yep, us middle class and rich folk, that's who. Which has been the goal of Obama's war all along.
insure how? does it prevent the future occurrence from happening or does it provide the money to pay for it?
You have just 100% proved the point I was trying to make. Being the statist that you are, you rather children be aborted than to worry about the cost it takes to labor and deliver one, and then take care of a new person. Yourself, even-though you won't admit it now, will in 10-20 years, be calling for the government to give Amnio tests to ALL women, and if the child is thought to possibly be born with downs, you would back a government mandated abortion of such children.
lol you dont even pay for your own insurance, how are you going to pay for someone elses? po' folk already have medicaid anyway
The ER is required to treat you, they also have the right to bill you for their service, even if it takes you 30 years to pay it off.
I dont blame you, admitting that insurance pays for things people cant afford out of pocket would make your earlier comment seem pretty dopey
