I believe everyone should pay something–something should come out of pocket, not to discourage going for care, but because paying this and that over time makes you think twice about smoking, about over eating, about bike riding without a helmet, about unhealthy habits in general that end up costing a lot later in life.

If we all had the view that we are responsible for at least some of the cost of maintaining our own health, we’d be more responsible about maintaining our own health.
