Technically from a dead person’s viewpoint, life here is likely moot. I have coverage as I worked and paid into the system. Sure, I have deductibles, copays, and co-insurance but that means I have skin in the game which forces me to make smart choices when it comes to services, equipment, and medicines. Besides, you know the politicians and their families would be at the head of all the medical lines, right? It wouldn’t be a fair system, either.
Physics taught me matter and energy are interchangeable and you cannot create something from nothing. So forgive me for arching an eyebrow when I hear “free” about anything. There are always costs including both hidden and unintended.
