benignuman -“Being provided healthcare when needed is a necessity in the sense that it is necessary for you to live. Under US law a person cannot be refused needed medical care at an emergency room.
But health insurance is privilege. You must be treated but you will receive a bill afterward. Not paying your bill is not a necessity and no one else can be morally required to pay your bill for you.
All that being said, I actually support Medicaid for all (aka single payer)”
I agree! And make sure to get rid of MEDICARE!
