Why people are unwilling to invest in their own health is amazing and dumbfounding. Flat panel TV's, $4,000 to pimp your ride..no problem. But when asked to give Dr. Jellyfinger a $100 after he checks out your orifices is just too much. The philosophy that the American populus is supposed to foot that bill is a bunch of horseshit.
There are many people that HAVE insurance and when something catastrophic actually happens their insurance company axes them. Do you know how easy it is for them to find a reason to cancel you? But no one seems to believe that this goes on until it happens to them or someone they know.
