...I don't WANT or expect free medical care. I believe in COPAY. Copay prevents goldbricks and hypochondriacs from rusing to their doctor every time they, or their children, get a cold or a broken fingernail... or bored. If they had to pay $20-$30 each time they went to the doctor they might be more judicious about going.

Hmmmm... $30 is a lot of money to a poor person - but a small fraction of the cost of their cigarettes, wide-screen TV, and/or cell phones (etc). ALSO, the doctor or PA should be able to waive the copay, in an emergency, for someone on food stamps. (I wouldn't waive the copay if they had cigarettes.)

I don't believe insurance should cover everything any more than car insurance should cover oil changes.

By the way, the service man or woman gives his country a blank check when they enlist or take the oath. The amount line is filled in by their country. The amount line could be filled in with such entries as "my right arm", "my womb", "my legs below the hips", or "my life". Some medical care doesn't turn out to be "free" after all.
