Clearly our right wing friends don't understand that they're already paying for other people's health care. They pay for it every time they make their personal premium payments, every time they pay for care, every time they pay for a prescription. The "free" health care given to those who can't afford or can't qualify for plans is coming from this money and tax money. This really shouldn't be so difficult to understand.
And I haven't yet received any thoughtful, reasonable, civil, mature responses to my questions about my "freedom", so I guess I'll try again, from an earlier post:
What about my "freedom" to not to have to wait in the ER with my daughter behind people who flood the place because they have/can afford/can qualify for no other coverage? What about my "freedom" to not have to pay extra to businesses for products & services that cost more because that company is stuck with paying for their employees' health care? What about my "freedom" to start a business with some kind of health insurance if I have a pre-existing condition? What about my "freedom" to not pay MUCH higher medical costs in general to COVER the services provided those who can't get coverage?
I wonder how many people who shout about their "freedoms" like trained seals have actually spent a few precious moments to actually think this through. I'm not a fan of Obamacare for the most part either, but this two-dimensional thinking and sloganeering is getting old.
I know y'all won't agree with this, but your freedoms do not trump mine. Shocker, huh?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Clearly you do not understand the the federal government has no authority to mandate a private citizen buys a product from a private company by virtue of being an American citizen.
I notice you chose not to answer my direct questions - I'm not exactly bowled over with surprise - and I'm not really a fan of Obamacare. So what would your answers be to my questions? Or are you okay with your "freedoms" being damaged by having to pay all the costs I mention in my question?
