Ron DeSantis' View on Health Insurance
Ron DeSantis, currently 47, believes that people under 50 do not require comprehensive health insurance.
Most people, particularly under 50, what they really need is a catastrophic plan that’s affordable, where then they can pay whatever they’re doing out of a health savings account.
DeSantis thinks that "catastrophic care" is sufficient for individuals his age and slightly older, as they do not need much preventive care.
Notably, DeSantis and his family have access to socialized medicine through his Navy service and have also benefited from government-subsidized health care since the 2012 election.
- Served in the Navy
- Received government-subsidized health care as a Congressman
- Elected Governor in 2018
Despite having access to these benefits, DeSantis feels they are not necessary for him.
Most people, outside of paying insurance premiums, are not paying a lot for medical on a routine basis.
