That's an interesting sentiment, I forgot if you are in the U.S., but
here most
people expressing that sentiment have health insurance. What is the
philosphy
behind health insurance? that if you get realllly sick and incur large
medical bills
then your medical Bills are paid for (i.e become someone else's
responsability).
In fact, many insurance companies try their best to exclude those with
preexisting conditions, yet if they pay a premium you'd think they
have the
same right to real health insurance as everyone else. So what you may
regard as self-reliance (paying an insurance premium and obtaining
coverage)
could in fact be viewed as an unfair privelage
