Is it fair for a sick person to pay and for a well-being person to NOT have to pay? (He's not sick, should count for something).
I hope you catch my meaning.
Yes, and yes. I beleive one should pay for what one receives. I don't have health insurance because I would be subsidizing someone else. Frankly, at the age of 30 I don't need it.

On a related note, I agree that children are the future. That's why I happily pay school taxes and I've quietly adopted a couple local schools.
