Test Your Views on Insurance
Are you sure you know what you value most in health care coverage? Test your assumptions by taking a short quiz. Start by choosing the answer below that best reflects your thinking on access to health care and then press "go."
1.  What is your overall philosophy about access to health care?

  
Everyone should have health coverage as a fundamental right, like public education and police protection.

  
Everyone should be required to have health coverage, with help for those who cannot afford it on their own.

  
Access to health coverage is not a fundamental right, but society should encourage and financially help people to acquire coverage.

  
Health insurance coverage is like life insurance--individuals should decide whether or not to get coverage and they should be financially responsible for obtaining their own plan through the various means available.
