Let's see if common sense will get through to  jgd777, who otherwise may get carpal tunnel syndrome from typing so much... plus, his clearly discernible anger is going to land him a heart attack.

jgd777 -- courageous use of your real name -- you already pay for other's health care. Zillions of indigent people go to emergency rooms, which cannot turn them away by law and/or moral imperative. You and I pay for those visits. 

It's cheaper for everyone to pay up, as they have or will use health care. That's the personal responsibility thing that conservatives raged in favor of and which the Heritage Foundation plan -- read: Romney- and Obamacare -- depends on. 

If everyone steps up and pays, it also lowers costs by reducing emergency room visits, many of which are for routine medical needs, not emergencies. 

I understand that you're too angry at life to make sense of a complex world, but health care is indeed something hardly anyone can provide for themselves.
