I'm pretty sure you would... On the other hand, if you give out free health care, no one is going to give a damn about their health because everyone is helping pay for them. Lets socialize saltwater fish keeping? Then I can get that 50,000 gallon fish tank I've always wanted.
Or lets socialize buying houses? Then I can get that huge mansion I've always wanted.
Don't you see? If you socialize things, people will be spending out of control because they don't give a damn because everyone is helping pay for them.
So if you contract any form of cancer, it's your fault. If your family has a history of diabetes or heart problems, it's your fault. You have a kidney failure, or get Hepatitis C from someone, it's your fault. Some drunk driver slams into your car and breaks every bone in your body, it's your fault. See where I'm going with this? It isn't about keeping yourself healthy. That's a no-brainer. But you still need medical care for situations that are beyond your control.

It isn't my fault I cant find a job paying more than 10 dollars an hour.
It isn't my fault I was unable to afford college.
Maybe the government should just cover healthcare, college education, and provide all jobs in this country. as obviously we are incapable of providing for ourselves............

That's not the point I was trying to make. Coral thinks every person in the world can remain healthy their entire lives with some magic immunity that'll keep them disease free and never need any medical care. That's preposterous. Everyone gets sick eventually. Some diseases can be handled with OTC medicine, others require prescription medicine, while others require hospitalization with potential surgery. Your logic is that if you are that individual who couldn't afford college, and only makes $10/hour, to just suck it up and hope you don''t need critical care. Isn't that how they do it in Third World Countries? So in regards to healthcare in this country, you just want to treat it like they do in Africa, where the mortality rate is around half of ours. Guess that's one way to get the bums from under the bridges and out of the homeless shelters.
