Twisting my words a bit or I am not being clear - probably the latter.
I agree there is no such thing as free insurance, but I do believe that there are many people who would rather have someone else "foot the bill" for whatever services. This is not limited to Health insurance. It is more an opinion of the ever increasing entitlement mentality of our society.
Nothing is free and some do not realize the associated costs and abstract ramifications to some of these things.

You seem to be making the point if people get insurance, they will use it (gasp!).
Absolutely not! I am a very large proponent for healthcare reform, I absolutely want to insure as many people as possible, if not all.

And worst of all your taxes will pay for the crowd of rabble getting health care. Redux and Merc and I argued this point a few zillion posts back, and I'm not going to re-argue it.
Uh ok?!?!? Please feel free to argue that point with whomever disagrees with you, however I am not the one of them.

When I became seriously ill, I had no one to advocate for me and I had lost my health insurance due to my inability to work. I was quite literally hours from dying when someone interceded for me at the last minute.
