WHY PATIENTS NEED TO OPT OUT OF THIRD PARTY HEALTH INSURANCE

If the mandate to buy insurance survives constitutional challenges, individuals should consider defying the mandate and not purchasing insurance. Why is opting out a sound idea for patients?

I haven’t read the 2000 page monster, but have seen clips.

Is there anything that would prevent a purely 100% CASH system from developing - that would allow patients and doctors to opt out, assuming they even paid the IRS-enforced penalties??

Pray we win in the courts.

My plan:

1) Buy high deductible, catastrophic plan that will be grandfathered in.

2) Open health-savings account.

3) Pay penalty for not having a Gov’t approve plan. This will be cheaper than paying the $20,000 per year premium a gov’t approved plan will cost my family.

This bill cuts your HSA in half ($5K is now $2.5), and I doubt they allow that catastrophic care to exist.

They don't care about health care. They never have. They want to make you miserable, poor, dependent and hopeless.
