It is. I watched it over and over on HBO, as a wee lass.

Yep! Another one I just remembered was the "I brought you into this world... and I can take you out." line.

I saw Keith Richards at a 7-Eleven in Cherry Hill once

It was afternoon, though, and we didn't stick around to see if he got anything to eat

Actually, unhealthy lifestyles reduce healthcare costs. The cost of a major illness can be more than many years of standard healthcare. The less healthy the person the less likely they are to survive a major illness. Healthier people are more likely to cost providers for multiple major illnesses.

People who die young also help our overburdened social security.

When you see a morbidly obese person smoking and washing down a moon pie with a big gulp you should be thankful. Their likely early demise means more resources for those of us who have long healthy lives.

I felt like a bit of a fool because I always opted for the most expensive health care plan at work and I didn't go to the doctor once for almost a decade. They made a lot of money off of me back then.

Then again, when I did need surgery they spent a boatload of money on me so I guess it evens out.

If someday you have a major illness or injury you could cost "the system" lots but you selfishly didn't pay into it while you were healthy.

First off, I didn't mean it to be a personal insult so can we turn the volume down a bit?

When you said you paid out of pocket for medical care I assumed you meant you didn't buy health insurance.

If young healthy people pay as they go and only old sick people buy health insurance than insurance will be more expensive.

The whole point of the Heritage foundation health care plan/Romneycare/Affordable Care Act is for young people to buy insurance even though they probably won't need it so young healthy people subsidize health care for old sickly people keeping things affordable for everyone.

Personally I would junk our entire private healthcare system and go to single payer.
