Or, you may get hit by a bus and not have a choice about being taken to the hospital. Who ends up paying? Everyone.

It called 'the common good'. People looking out for each other in a financial way. Individually, health insurance is expensive. Collectively, where lots of healthy people subsidize a few sick people, it becomes much cheaper for all of us. And then, when your time comes around, then you get the benefits.

Having said all that, I'm wishing for socialized medicine. (and a return to greater gov't control over, well, largely everything that's been privatized since Raygun).

Haven't seen the movie but I think capitalism has come to the end of its usefulness. Greed rules the day.
