Specious Comparisons.
The requirement for auto insurance involves Liability Coverage in case one causes harm to others as a condition for sharing the public roads. One is not required to cover insurance for harm to oneself.
Worker's comp is insurance for being hurt on the job - for which one give up one's right to sue. It is income insurance while one cannot work - and involves the worker actually engaging in an activity to apply (working). (I'm not a supporter of this piece of big government lobbying efforts which causes individuals to give up rights.)
Mandating health insurance is forcing someone who is inactive (opting out) into action merely because that person is alive in America. That person's mere existence causes no threat to others (unlike sharing a road) - nor is there any activity similar to working to trigger a quid pro quo.
I guess you don't understand how insurance works since you think those w/o insurance don't cause harm to those with insurance.
They dont. Those without insurance use ER's...at the cost of the taxpayer...and we are OK with this. We do not see it as hurting us...we see it as a ramification for having a free market healthcare system.
Now, we will be paying for it AND not have the benefit of a free market helath care system.
And as for auto insurance.....you are only mandated to purchase it if you opt to own a car. So yes, it is personal choice.
With THIS HC law, you MUST purchase insurance regardless of what you do in your life.
You have no choice involved....you live thereofre you must buy.
It is unprecedented.
More made up BS. Imagine that. LOL
You hypocrites whine and cry all the time about how your tax dollars go for numerous things so it's hilarious that NOW that you think you can spin it you say that you are "OK" with taxpayer dollars paying for the care of uninsured people when they go to the hospital. LOL
Furthermore, you are WRONG with your "you MUST purchase insurance regardless of what you do in your life. You have no choice involved....you live thereofre you must buy. " BS because if you already have insurance then you are not required to purchase an additional plan.
however, thanks for the spin. it was mildly entertaining. LOL
