You are currently doing that. It's included in the costs of the healthcare system.

What about people who are not as healthy as you? Do you feel they should be able to purchase insurance too, or not?

How will you feel, in the future, if you go to a doctor for chest pain or heart palpatations, a cardiac problem is found, and your insurance company says, "Sorry. Your medical records show you had a heart scan before 2010. That makes cardiac-associated health problems a pre-existing condition, thus they will not be covered"

Edit: Dell, do you really think that the only people without insurance are not self-responsible for their own health, or are unemployed?
