Not to be disrespectful, and please do not take it that way Army, but how much do you have to pay for healthcare being in the military? I had to take a lower paying job just so I could get healthcare that is covered by my job.

I do not mind the free enterprise system, I think competition drives one to make a better product. The problem with healthcare is if you make a better product, you lose your profit. How much profit is there if you cure cancer? If, say, there were an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. I can garuntee you that a cure would be miraculusly (sic) found because it kills quickly, no time to treat somebody. Aids, cancer, the flu......they all kill over time. Other diseases are the same way.

To say that some people choose to not pay for healthcare and can is true. I think you would find, though, that that is a small percentage.
