They say
“Health insurance reform needs to focus on the health, not the insurance”
How? If you have health, it is inevitable that it would have problems. So, here are some ways to avoid health related issues. You may accept these as the cheapest way to get health insurance coverage...
Supposing you feel like having a chilled cold drink and a delicious ice cream at the time of fall, and you cannot resist. The taste allures you so much that you are tempted to take one more; now you would surely catch cold. And if you are such indifferent , you would inevitably develop some complicated diseases in due course. So why not be conscious of such things? If you are conscious of this, would you be able to avoid health insurance?
Just consider the ill effects of smoking...
It even leads to the diseases like cancer, heart blockage and ultimately even death, yet people tend to smoke. Had people controlled smoking, the percentage of death owing to smoking would have decreased to a great extent. To control smoking is within our reach, yet we are unable to do so. For that we tend to opt for health insurance…do we really need it?
In this context they said …
“The only way we're going to make people healthier is if we start admitting the truth about the detrimental health effects of prescription drugs, processed foods, junk foods, soft drinks, lack of physical exercise and so on,
and then start educating people about how to take control of their health and reduce their risk of ever experiencing chronic disease. That's how you solve the health insurance problem: by making people healthy. What a novel idea, huh? ”
I believe, they say so because they are groups of miserly do- gooders from the “Miser research society” researching on topic as to which would the most frugal way to avoid health insurance! In fact the best way to get insurance for free!
