    You might get a bill later. It's on you to understand the responsibilities of adulthood, so ignorance won't be an excuse. That's why voluntary premiums in a public health care scheme make no sense. It's an extra administrative layer and people will freeload inevitably. Lump the MSP into taxes and solves everyone's problem.
