To the Editor:
Regarding Edward A. Tharp’s OpEd “King Angus and the working serf” (Oct. 21, Page A6), if he does not want to be required to buy health insurance, he should agree to this deal.
If he chooses not to buy health insurance, freeloading off the rest of us, and he gets sick or has an accident, let him pay for it. All of it. No hospital charity care, no taxpayer assistance. Then he’ll truly know what the word “serf” means.
