No it's not. Human beings are not cars. Telling someone "we won't repair the door scrape on your Kia" is not the same as telling someone "We won't cover your chemo treatments."

Fixing a car isn't a situation that will drive you bankrupt. It's not a life or death matter. Health care is both. You can repair a car without insurance. Then you can go out and buy insurance on that car with no problems. The same cannot be said about health insurance.

Cars without door dings are not as valuable to us as a nation as a healthy population is.
