· “People who lack insurance but do not qualify for one of the government programs often put off seeking health care unless and until a problem becomes acute and disabling.”
This is true with so many who are not insured. This does not justify the means for having others pay for your problem because you put off seeking health care until a problem turned into a personal issue. The majority of those uninsured or ‘lacking’ insurance have decided they do not feel the urgency to put aside the money to pay for insurance. Of the 46 million uninsured 17 million earn over $50k and 9 million earn $75k. They certainly can afford to pay for insurance they simply chose not to. 26 million people without health insurance can more than afford the costs associated with health insurance, but chose not to insure themselves for a reason or reasons only known to them. 18 million of the 46 million uninsured are between the ages of 18 and 34. Of this number many see other activities as a more valuable expense than paying for health insurance.
