Dear Moonglow if Convicted of a DWI. That means you went through due process, were found guilty, under laws that prescribe a loss of liberty for a crime.If you have a DWI and don't drive, you must still get insurance and file an SR-22 for two years..people have to pay for auto insurance even if they don't have a license or drive...I don't have a choice, I must have an auto, so I am forced to buy insurance..But it's not the option of being able to buy insurance or not which is the topic..It's being forced to buy a product, which not only does the govt. do it, but corporations also make you buy insurance..I don't like any of it since it does curtail freedom, but so does other govt. and non-govt. rules and operations...
First of all, your claim is completely false. Nobody is required to buy auto insurance if they do not drive.
Second, auto insurance is a state mandate, not a federal mandate. The federal government does not have the authority to make anyone buy a product.
What CRIME did taxpayers commit to lose our freedom under ACA mandates? Where was the DUE PROCESS to show WHICH people incurred WHICH debts or violations that THOSE people need to pay for?
Do you see the difference?
The govt is barred from depriving citizens of liberty without due process of law. So where is it? Where have you proven which people owe what amount or refused to pay using other means besides insurance before that's forced on people as a PENALTY.
Moonglow if you follow this line of reasoning, you may end up at my conclusion: why not go after convicted felons and corporate abusers who have been proven to incur debts to the public. Go collect on those damages and use those funds or credits to finance medical education facilities and program development. Why go after law abiding citizens with no due process to prove responsibility for any crime or debt, when there are plenty of people proven to cost the state and public billions if not trillions of dollars. That COULD be collected on and or credited back to taxpayers to invest in public health care, education and other programs in demand. We're talking billions of dollars per state, currently wasted on failed prison and mental health systems that warehouse people for corporate contracts and profits at taxpayer expense and just make people sicker while we foot the bill.
If the goal is responsibility for costs, why let criminals abuse tax resources with no accountability or restitution, then go punish law abiding taxpayers with penalties or loss of liberty to PAY for the crimes and debts by others?
