Interesting tidbit from the WSJ …
On average, people without health insurance consume only about half as much health care as everyone else.
Of the amount of care they consume, they pay for about half.
Thus the “free ride” for the average uninsured person is about one-fourth of what everyone else spends on health care.
Raises an interesting question: do free-riders consume too little health care, or do riders consume too much?
Hmm …
