You know what, I'd be all for that if doctors and hospitals could refuse to treat people like yourself on the basis of pre-signed "don't treat me" waivers. However, it is pretty silly we all have to insure our CARS but not have health insurance.
I'm all for discount prepay care for people under 21 and over 67, mentally ill, possibly pre-natal/birth care and military veterans. Of course, you'd waive your right to sue in all but the very worst cases -- and even then there'd be fixed damages.
The rest I think the real problem is the over-education/government certification monopoly of health care providers in the U.S. in comparison to other countries.
