Remember that "Health Insurance" is not "Health Care"
Maybe this Princeton & Harvard scholar is "Uninsured" because good plans are not available at a free market price.
Many young, healthy, brilliant people know that they can self-insure and beat the $20,000K annual cost for insurance (premiums plus co-pays and deductibles). Many have their own concierge doctors on call.
That is exactly why a penalty for no "insurance" was imposed. The plans are STUPID.
Intelligent people don't like STUPID plans. They like great medical CARE.
I self insured for 10 years and bought a nice $200,000 home with the money I saved.
Our medical costs were never over $3k annually, and that year involved a hospital visit.
Amazing how that worked for the past 200 years, before the government got involved, and blew costs sky high.
