It's really strange how some people assume that you are ripping off 'the system' -- meaning them.
Given that you work full time, it seems unlikely that you are forgoing health insurance. And, if you are, you are paying the penalty on your taxes, in addition to emergency room bills.
At least you aren't a leech on the system like you would be if you were retired and collecting social security and using medicare ;).
May you live long enough to collect back SOME of the taxes you paid to support those that went before. Isn't that called paying it forward? Anybody with any job that worked 44 years as I did will never recoup the money they paid into SS and Medicare. That's on top of income tax BTW.
As far is Mud is concerned I say go for it, good on him. Once I realized at an early age that not everybody thought and acted as I did it changed my whole perspective. Just remember that your rights end at my nose and I'll never bother anybody.
