Of course we can take care of ourselves. People just abuse the insurance. As the video stated, people apply to insurance after they have been diagnosed with something because then they don’t have to waste their own money. People even go as far as to lie about them not knowing that they have a pre-existing condition to get the insurance. Furthermore, when the people have control over the healthcare they can balance out what medical procedures are or are not needed.Finally, if we take care of ourselves we would be practicing preventive care and not need to go to the doctor as much as we do.
