It’s the democrats who forced medical insurance down everyone’s throats and went to great effort to conflate the terms “health care” with “health insurance” so that all democrats now think they are the same thing. Democrats need to introspect instead of hate.

How do you get health care without health insurance - bring the doctor a chicken? Show up at the hospital with a brisket?

Bring a chicken. Bring money. Join a medical cost sharing community. Join a fraternal lodge. Join a Direct Primary Care practice. Join a church or commune that shares costs and helps its members. ALL of them make medical costs decrease. Insurance makes medical costs increase. Look up MORAL HAZARD

They sound pretty sketchy. Cons: Does not cover emergency room visits or specialist care, requiring additional insurance coverage. May not be suitable for those with complex medical needs or requiring frequent specialist visits. May not be accepted by all insurance plans.

I used to pay 84 dollars a month for catastrophic insurance (high deductible). Family of four. I paid for everything until a max was reached. So I cared about the costs and shopped for best value (except in emergencies of course). That’s how costs get brought down. Obama made my plan illegal.

It is worth learning about the myriad of other ways besides health insurance. Or that at least put health insurance solely in the role of catastrophic financial protection (what insurance should do) as opposed to managing health. Obamacare mostly illegalizes catastrophic insurance.

Health Insurance is not part of the cosmic firmament. It is a financial product, not a medical product. With very large side effects, the principal one being that third party payment of any kind creates moral hazard which increases prices and costs, fixed only by centralized control. Yuk.
