66. You have no insurance to cancel, so your words are hollow.
You are asking people to risk their own health while you sit pretty and able to get medical care if you need it. Pretty nice position.

I'm a vet, too, and I will be using the VA pharmacy benefits once I go on Medicare. You can be sure, though, that I will not be calling for people who have to pay for their insurance and have no single-payer solution to cancel their policy.

Telling others to do what you have no need to do is hypocrisy. You'll get the care you need when you fall over with a serious illness. Not so the people you're telling to drop their health insurance.

You claim not to used doctors or prescriptions. That's good. At 60, you're still young. However, when your chest feels like an elephant is sitting on it and a severe pain is running down your left arm, I'm betting you'll let them put you on a gurney and take you to the hospital. In fact, I can almost guarantee it.

Please don't tell others to do something you won't do, don't need to do, and don't have to do. That sort of thing just plain sucks!
