So ask them what Keith also doesn't seem to understand: Where would they 
get that $6000 from if they opted to non-insure and pay the penalty instead?

The deductible only needs to be paid when one gets sick. And that's what

I still drive my 1997 Mitsubishi SUV and my wife her 1996 Toyota 
Corolla. Our car expensies are miniscule and we never had any car payments.

Attaboy :-)

He will probably be a one-percenter. Those 1% who have enough savings 
and no debt once they are your age. He'd also likley be hated by leftists.
