U.S. families with health insurance are paying an estimated $1,017 more in annual premiums to pay for health care for the uninsured, according to a report released on Thursday.

Isn’t that the just the craziest thing every? Of course this is part of the reason why our health insurance is so high! The healthy people (who usually of course are the most careless) often never get health insurance. I wish I had a $10 (alright that’s steep but if I said 10 cents I’d be exaggerating) for every time I heard somebody say, “I am healthy I don’t health insurance.”

Most health insurance brokers would keep hammering away at this person until they realized how ridiculous that sounded but I simply say goodbye as it is usually worthless to explain to people about the necessity of health coverage. Look at this way, if people were more intelligent and less corrupt we wouldn’t even be considering this health reform agenda as we do have a good health care system in the United States, of course it is most likely going to bankrupt us but that is not my problem.

I of course, firmly believe that everyone should have the right to health insurance but people especially young people think that this is a waste of money. I would be counted on this list when I was 19. But wake up! One big reason why our health care system is so broken is because people don’t buy health insurance. In this regard Massachusetts has it right tax everyone without health insurance that has declined coverage. Of course, people make mistakes and they are entitled to make them, and part of being a good, god-fearing society is picking up the tab for them. But instead of taxing soft drinks etc. I think the first part of health reform would be to tax these people and if you are among them and can afford it you should be slapped. You are part of the problem in this country as you will happily have your neighbors pay your medical bills if you get sick.

I want health reform, and most people that choose not to buy it cannot afford it and these people are my concern, I never want to tell someone again that they don’t qualify and if everyone at least did their part that could by buying a policy many of these people could afford a policy because the price would go down or they could get on the proper government plan.

If you know someone without health insurance and they live in Florida and are not suffering in the recession (yes, I know that is many qualifications please have them call us (you don’t have to slap them) at 888 803 5917 and ask them to stop being selfish and to support health reform by at least taking care of their own health. Obviously by taking care of your own health and health insurance you make it easier for everyone else to take of their own.
