"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness".
I bolded the important part for you. Our country was founded on ensuring life for its citizens.
Single payer actually has nothing to do with the mandate. Here's a newsflash and why I said you are clueless. You already do pay for others people healthcare, like it or not. Your insurance premiums (assuming you have insurance) are directly influenced by the costs incurred in our system by those without insurance. Me, you and anyone else who purchases health insurance have our rates increase due to covering the costs of those who can't afford insurance. Once you can grasp and understand that concept we can then continue the conversation. Until then, you'll continue to be clueless as to what healthcare in this country is about.
And protecting life is not just about blocking bullets.
You'd pay less if the people for whom you are paying were getting preventative care and using Drs offices instead of going to the ER.
And why do they go to the ER? Because they have no insurance.
Just think of what this means to small or startup businesses. The owner and all the employees would have health coverage without any additional expense.
The cost of health care for everyone from individuals to GM or GE will experience a decrease in cost.
A shining example of how liberals beleive that if the government provides it then no one pays for it.
That's not what liberals believe.
But everyone who isn't a moron realizes that the bigger the pool of patients covered by an insurance program the lower the cost per patient. Duh. Simple economics of scale and statistics.
What part of Vt. do you live in??
I lived in Norhtern NH for 20+ years. Did a lot of horse showing at the Lyndonville Fair.
Sure mis NE in the Fall especially the County Fairs.

There's no reason to go to the ER to get a mamogram or a flu shot.
Yes, it's constitutional. Vermont has applied for a waiver just as all states are permitted to do by the HC legislation. Any state that develops a system with outcomes that meet federal standards is free to get a waiver.
That's pretty-much what happened, in Canada....it worked better than anyone had expected.
Oh, that's interesting. I love Northern NH! We hike and play in the White Mountains all the time.
We live in the northwest, near Lake Champlain and about 30 miles from the Canadian border.

Waivers are unconstitutional. The Constitution mandates that all laws are to be enforced equally and uniformly. How does letting some people off the hook comport with that requirement?
Should be interesting to see how it fares in VT.
I wonder if the legislature decided this or if the taxpayers voted it in??
I'm willing to bet the former is the case.
Like all legislation it was passed by the legislature and signed by the governor - but it has fairly wide support throughout the state.

As long it's in another state and I dont have to pay for it I could care less.
LOL. So clueless. Go back to sleep.
Do you even know what single payer means? It''s the same thing as an individual mandate, it means I would have to pay for it, even if I don't use it. It also means that my tax dollars would pay for some lazy welfare recipients healthcare, regardless if he/she can work and pay for their own. It's taking tax payer money and redistributing it to those too lazy to do anything for themselves. Noone has a right to my labor, sorry for your luck, like I said, glad it's not my state, and Vermont....like Massachusetts will suffer for it.
Sounds like States Rights. I guess all that talk of a mandatory Federal Gov't takeover of HC was little more than a bunch of hooey.
"90% of ALL medical advancements in the WORLD -originate in the US."
Where did that little gem of a claim come from?
That's pretty-much what happened, in Canada....it worked better than anyone had expected.
is that why Canadians come to the US in droves to get urgently needed medical care?
What will the right do when this system proves a great success?

Waivers granted at the whim of some federal bureaucrat are an example of states rights?
The stupidity of left-wingers defies comprehension.
