Quoting the article:

"I don't understand young people who say, 'I can't afford health insurance.'"

Emphasis mine. I should have included the word "employed" after "young." Forgive me. I stand by this. No one in that situation (young and employed) should be without at least major medical coverage and still claim to be living responsibly.

And there are far worse things than losing $5k in savings. Dying, for example.

Again, the system we have is far from perfect, as is my way of dealing with it. Maybe the health care situation in this country will get fixed someday, but in the meantime, one does what one can, and gets busy living.
