I'm sure that you guys rather buy your own firetruck and protect your house when it's in need, but your taxes help pay for the service if you can't afford the expenses. If you refuse the help, that's your choice.
What's your solution? If something horrible happens to our family members, and insurance flakes out on us, we should beg for money on GFY? I guess that's what Peaches meant here:
If it's all about YOU, then yeah you're probably fine. But think about your parents, or some relatives who will be forced to work their entire lives so that they can pay for the extremely overpriced prescriptions.

LOL! I don't know where you live, but in my small town community we have cook outs, craft shows, "donation cans" on counter tops, etc. that's raising money if someone who needs it for medical care. Places of worship also donate money to their members who might need it for an unexpected medical situation.
Some of my savings IS for my future health care. My parents and grandparents did the same.
I've said it before: If you want government health care, then go for it, but let people like me opt out. I don't want to pay for it and I don't want to use it.
