[IsaacNewton]

There has been a penalty for not buying car insurance for as long as I can remember. You are forced to buy it.

Why is healthcare different?

It's just another step toward socialism. We don't need the government dictating what we should buy.

 

[Manonthestreet]

They cant collect unless you get a refund on your taxes

You don't have to spend thousands of Dollars of deductible before they pay .

It's not. Each is a malignant corruption of government power.

Nope. That is a fee to drive your car on the street without insurance. It provides no insurance.

So you're saying it's exactly the choice some people make regarding paying a penalty and getting no health insurance.

Yes. Defying authoritarian government is always a choice. One that can get you killed if you persist. If, for example, you also choose not to pay the penalty.

By the way, to clear up some confusion for you - freedom isn't 'having a choice'. That's tripped you up in other discussions as well. Freedom is the absence of coercion.

The government didn't force you to buy the car in the first place. You have no right to have it on public streets.

Great point, but since so many drive without it, we now have to pay to cover the uninsured and underinsured.

I swear I think people hate the ACA because they want to be loafers and let everyone else pay for them. Shame.

The government didn't force you to have a life, either. It certainly isn't responsible if you get cancer (though anyone but a RWer would argue that it is responsible for monitoring entities that can cause environmental cancers). What's your point?

I don't agree. Government has a responsibility to protect equal access to the commons. That's the fucking point of having a commons.

So take off your license plates.
