What's easier, to plan your monthly budget or to prepare for something that may happen ten years down the line?
If you have to take a credit every time you get an expensive health care bill then you also have to add the interest that you pay on the credit to the total cost.

And that's assuming everybody gets the treatment they need either way, of course without universal health care you can let hospitals refuse poor people and watch them die on the streets. If they are forced to treat them for free then they will surely add the cost that is incurred on top of the treatment for other patients just like a convenience store has higher prices for everyone to make up for the losses due to theft.
But that's the problem. Do you really you want to pay higher taxes? I don't think everyone's getting the point. Not only taxes will go up, which would defeat the purpose of universal healthcare anyhow because you will be spending that money elsewhere, thus no savings, but if you don't go to the doctor's and take advantage of what you are paying....

Then the money will be use for someone else, thus, it be no better if someone is treated for free and the cost is put off on other insured people.


Either way, you will not make out. Only these greedy doctors will make out, that's it.
