Health Insurance Required: what that means to me.

Usually, a requirement from government is "prophetic". People in positions of power and authority usually know things common people don't. That doesn't neccessarily make it a consiparacy, they just have knowledge and insight the average person does not. Many times they keep it to themselves because the average person can't handle knowing what they know. They're just trying to keep widespread panic down so people don't go around destroying themselves and everyone else in the process. So, our government is now requiring everybody carry health insurance. That tells me that yes, medical treatment and supplies will be limited. That tells me yes, there are threats to our health and well-being coming over the horizen. And there the average person goes, fretting over the requirement to obtain health insurance. They stress out, develope heart conditions, start drinking or doing drugs, endagering their health, all of which leads to that person raising their own insurance premiums. That "prophesy" is already seeing fulfillment. Trying to stop where this world is going is like jumping in front of a train. Not going to happen. You only end up killing yourself. 
     So what is the best, most affordable health insurance you can get? Self-awareness and emotional self-sufficiency. Insurance you work and pay for is an outer security against inward self-destruction. Your health and well-being are determined by your emotions. Stress, an expression of fearful emotions like insecurity, causes health problems. Those health problems make you dependent upon the healthcare system. As the health care system gets more and more expensive, more and more difficult to access, the more out of reach it gets. The more out of reach it gets, the more fearful you get. Your reliance upon it leads you to your own destruction.
     When a person knows themselves, their own strengths and weaknesses, their own insecurites, they know their limitations. Knowing our limitations gives us the strength and courage to defend them. This defense of ourselves stregthens us, we experience less limitation. This inner strength and resulting freedom from limitations gives us a sense of security. That sense of security is an inner insurance against poor health and promotes over-all well-being. God gave that to me.
     Once we have that inner security, we just roll with the punches. Choices become easy. The issue of health insurance becomes easy. If you're amongst the truly poor, government provides it. If you're working, it will often come through the company you work for. If you can't afford it and it isn't part of job benefits, you either choose to go up or down the scale: make more money to provide for it or let yourself drop down to having it provided for you. Either that or you are in a place of inner security that makes you O.K. with not having it. If you or your family truly needs medical care, you will find a way to get it.
    Believe it or not, there are still people in the United States who set their own children's broken arms. There are people who pull their own teeth. I myself feel better letting a doctor do those things. But I do alot of research on natural health treatments. Maintaining our own bodies is really our own responsibility, not somebody else's. It's up to each of us to seek out how best we can do that. Some rely on prayer. Some rely on family, neighbors, books, and other second-hand sources of information. Some go to doctors. Which we choose is determined by our own level of inner security which is dependent upon our own self-awareness of our own limitations. Your beliefs will determine your experience of fulfillment regarding the government's "prophesies". If you believe you need health insurance, worse and worse things will come upon you causing your need for it and your belief that you will die without it will come true. If, on the other hand, you believe you're safe and can handle what comes your way, choices become easier, your health gets better and you live to see another day. That prophecy did not see fulfillment. You didn't have to jump in front of a train and get flattened. Possibly, quite possibly, enough people did the same thing and the train had no tracks to take it your way, it was "stopped in it's tracks" or was never a train that existed anyways. As they say "Be the change you want to see in the world". If you want everyone to have health insurance, BE your own health insurance. Others will follow.
