I should pay a higher health-care insurance premium. That is because I am an older adult and make more demands on the health-care system. If I am not required to pay for the health services that I need, someone else has to pay. Why should they pay for the care that I need? For many years I have saved in order to be able to pay more. What I do not want is to have to pay even more for those who have not saved. That's unfair to me and to my family.
