You should really get insurance. It’s a very very bad idea to not have it unless you’re Wolverine. You do know you’re made of meat, right?

In any case, by not having insurance you’re shifting the cost of your care to the rest of us once you get ill. Because I’m not seeing you as a wealthy heiress.

In any case, aside from this nonsense, I’d like to say that Roberts agrees with Justice Lobohan from two years ago:
