OK....Specifically, what suggestion would you have for people to have their own medical insurance and to pay for it? Personally, I think if a person is on welfare of any kind, medical insurance should come out of the payments BEFORE the payment is received. Like taxes do for the rest of us. If people are on drugs or alcohol, or other similar items, and need help, they can afford those drugs, or alcohol, etc. Therefore, they should be able to purchase at least some medical insurance. In the olden days, we didn't have medical insurance to help with bills. People got sick, called the Doctor, and paid the bill as soon as they could, or they didn't get treated. Or they were treated with herbs, and many Native Americans had native remedies. Some are used today, and others are being re-considered....many of them worked. You thought this idea I had might be too "totalitarian".... so if you didn't like this one, what else would you suggest? We could fix the insurance situation easily. NO person could have a car, a cell phone, nor a TV until they purchased at least a Basic Medical Insurance Policy. Period.
