Under the ACA plan, we are basically paying as we go for health care. The overwhelming odds are that we will need it during our lives. We are irate when the ER turns away the uninsured. If all had insurance, no problem. By saying you are opting out of the program, you are asking everyone else to pay for you when you get sick. Health care is expensive. That's another problem for now. Further, in countries that provide health care it certainly isn;t free. Ask a Canadian what they pay in real estate taxes. But with everyone in the program and government oversight of overcharging and gouging, the system works.
The Libertarians seem to forget that we are a community and as such have responsibilities to each other.
