Who will pay if you hit yourself on the thumb with a hammer?

You already told us that you restricted your growing kids' sports activities because of your refusal to buy health insurance.

Aren't you being just a little bit selfish?

Hillary would be disappointed. She would take some things away from you for the common good, and has already promised to do so. Take that new addition, for example...

Ah! So your REAL objection is not to the cost, but to your political theories about the system!

I suppose you make the same statements about the oil industry. Do you have a car?

And another thought occurs to me: You sacrificed health insurance for an addition to the house, right?

So why not say you will pay your health premiums and the rest of us should build you a palace? Seems equivalent to me.

Or do you think that would be difficult to sell even among your fellow libs?
