Healthcare is not a human right. Healthcare is a luxury.
Then instead of paying insurance every month stick some money away for when something bad happens to you.

What about those people without JOBS?
What about those people DYING from diseases?
What about those BORN with maladies that make them unable to work from birth?
What about if YOU get into a terrible accident, and it is YOUR fault, and you and 3 others YOU injured can no longer work and you used up all of the " money away for when something bad happens to you" ?
Is healthcare still a luxury?

I think we live in a free market economy so as much as he can with his skills. He has to pay alll kind of expenses out of that money and if he made a mistake you are probably the type of person that would be first in line to sue him for a few million.
If you want a cheaper doctor maybe you should negotiate better pricing. A broken arm is not life threatening so you could have called around for pricing.

If the government runs health care the people dying from diseases will die because it's not "cost effective", children born with conditions leaving them unable to work will suffer because it's not "cost effective". Same thing with everything else.
with UHC you become a number or more accurately a burden on the government.
We need to teach people how to set broken bones and how to sew up wounds, and the like. People are too dependent on other people for things that they can do themselves.
