    - no, but i have lost 25 lbs since you last saw me. at this rate, i won't have a body soon! -- nm - colin Jun 28, 10:58
See Don Homer's point. With a body and being alive, you run the risk of needing health care. -- nm - Inigo Jun 28, 10:50 2
- In other words, having a body would be the equivalent of owning a car in the analogy. -- nm - Inigo Jun 28, 10:51 1
  - good point. what other things will i NEED at some point by having a body? - colin Jun 28, 10:58
And you can choose to have no health insurance, pay the "tax" and still have US shelling out more of our money for YOUR healthcare needs. -- nm - Jim Jun 28, 10:48 5
- i don't know about you, but when i've not had health insurance, i paid 100% cash out of my pocket, not taking advantage of "free" services - colin Jun 28, 10:51 4
  - god forbid you are ever hit by a car, or need chemo, or need something that isn't a visit to a GP. -- nm - Andie Jun 28, 10:54 3
