Hospitals and Doctors subsidize the costs. Not you. Pull the stick out of your ass. Secondly, I don't believe in entitlements and I certainly will not allow my family or the government to bear the financial burden of putting me through a bunch of procedures to prolong my life by another 5 years.

That is exactly right. I had a loved one get sick, needed countless surgeries and procedures. Blue Cross/Blue Shield eventually dropped her and she was forced to get Medicaid. It was explained to us by her doctors and specialists that the government rarely pays any of their claims, and the majority of her work would mostly be pro bono.
