Because taxpayers pay for the uninsured. Therefore there is nothing constitutional against imposing a tax penalty on the uninsured to pay back the taxpayers.It's very relevant.
How?
And my other point was just as valid as manifold's. You can choose to go through life without a car and you can choose to go through life without a job. Be a shareholder. Play the market, etc.
I'll need a link to that, because before I had insurance, when I went to the emergency room, the bill came to me...not Uncle Sam.
And it is my understanding...and correct me if I'm wrong...that if I wouldn't have been able to pay it, the hospital would have sued me, got a judgement against me and garnished my wages to pay that judgement.
And it I had no job, or money, they would have charged it off...not sent it to Uncle Sam for payment...and offset those cost by charging higher rates to their other customers.
Just like if an uninsured motorist hits me...my insurance pays, and it offsets those expenses by charging higher rates to it's own customers in the form of uninsured motorist riders.
Using Obamalogic, we should mandate everyone buy car insurance, whether they need it or not, because some people driving without insurance increases the costs for everyone else.
