Personal Choice: Medical Health Insurance

Decent Essays
Personal Choice
Not everyone believes in medical doctors or pharmaceutical medication. Reasons can vary, depending on religion beliefs, personal preferences etc. Yet, in 2010 President Barack Obama passed a bill, most known as ObamaCare in which obligates you to be medically health insured. While you have a choice to decline, it does come with consequences. Penalties are due when one is filing for taxes and depending on one's income it is how much we are charged if we opt out of getting medical health insurance.I believe that you should have a choice if you should to contribute to spend your money on health insurance or not as, I do not agree that the government should be deciding for you if you should have medical health insurance.
