Still waiting....Other than "provide for the common defense" can you name any other things the government is to provide it's citizens that are named in the COTUS? I refer to the COTUS because it is the basis for all FEDERAL law, of which the ACA is one.Having initially dropped BIGLY under Obamacare uninsured rates have now been climbing back up ever since Trump won election and began messing with our healthcare:
The Uninsured Rate Is Going Up Again | HuffPost
U.S. Uninsured Rate Rises to 12.3% in Third Quarter
Or as Trumpsters would say:
Oh my Allah, you mean that if people are not forced to buy the product of well connected looters under penalty of law, the crooks who you serve lose business?
YES! I do mean that.
People who are healthy don't want to pay for insurance, UNTIL THEY ARE NOT HEALTHY.
The only way to be able to guarantee everyone access to coverage in free market based system is to mandate that they get covered healthy or not.
This is where you go wrong every single time. Government is not tasked with guaranteeing everyone anything. Good little dictators will always sacrifice liberty for their own selfish desires.
You are crazy. Government is tasked WITH MANY THINGS it is to provide it's citizens.
I'm not an ideologue - if there is a way to setup a pure free market to handle a problem I'm all for it, but some things it's just not that good at as bottom line doesn't always line up with acceptable outcomes for us the people.
