Digg ThisShould I buy health insurance? Should I be forced to buy it?
This week I was instructed to fill out the forms for health insurance, regardless of whether or not I was going to opt into the plan. I had the opportunity to opt out, which I did, because I already have health insurance.
My question is this: under either Obama’s or Clinton’s plan, would I still be able to opt out and choose what is better and less costly coverage for me?
Obama says Clinton’s plan forces people to buy the insurance; Clinton says Obama is misleading people. Now the argument is getting hot and out of control. They’re starting to wander off-topic, and it’s time to talk about NAFTA.
In one of the sharpest openers yet tonight, Clinton complains about always answering the questions first, saying that they should do like they did on SNL and offer Obama a pillow…

If insurance should be politicised like that, I think family insurance will be out of the market soon. Given that within a family, family memebers are divided as republicans and democrats and pro obama or pro clinton. It’s an insurance that people can advocate changes from below. Write and petition to the insurance companies.

In a nutshell…McCain’s health program will essentially credit those that purchase health insurance. Obama’s plan will be more of a “give it away” program.
With the utilization of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)…the McCain plan might indeed work quite well.
