A Health-Insurance Criminal Pleads His Case
By James L. Payne
If mandatory health insurance goes through, it will turn me into a criminal. I don’t have health insurance. I don’t want it. And I will refuse to buy it even though I can afford it. Before they lead me to the cells, perhaps the prisoner may be allowed to say a few words in his defense.
It’s understandable that politicians are eager to eliminate the medically uninsured. For years they’ve been told that we are the flies in the ointment of health care policy. It is said we are either a) wrecking the system by using services we don’t pay for, or b) we are deprived of needed medical care and therefore objects of pity and subsidy.
These points may apply to some uninsured but not to all. Some of us belong in what might be called the “successfully uninsured” category. We are not freeloaders. We believe we have an obligation to pay for the medical care we receive, and we always pay for it. I put no financial burden on doctors, hospitals, or taxpayers, and politicians are wrong to assume I am part of the country’s health care problem.
