Why can we not allow people the *choice* of forgoing insurance, and paying it when the occasion presents itself, as Johnny-Five has outlined?

In the meantime, why can we not allow people, *who made said choice*, but are unable to afford the requisite healthcare because of no insurance, to die from being ill/sick?

It is the fixation on "life is precious" that has gotten us into this problem of skyrocketing healthcare costs.

When we reach the point with our dogs/cats/etc becoming too old and/or prone to poor health, we let them go ("it costs too much for little improvement" & "poor quality of life" being prevalent reasons in doing so).

We need to embrace the same approach with humanity.
