Reply #14: Do people have a right to drop Social Security if they want to risk it?

The answer is no.


The same now applies to health care. If you are going to require that a health care system (public or private) must take somebody with AIDS (or anyother expensive disease) for example then unless you require that everyone participates that system will go bankrupt.

In your hypothetical the person doesn't take the insurance and gets sick - who should pay for him when he now gets sick.


All single payer systems require 100% participation. The question becomes how you subsidize those unable to pay.
