but in a free society shouldnt people have a say in how the spend their money? what they buy?
If someone wants to buy a 6000 square foot home and drive a brand new corvette, then let them. If by chance those choices leave them unable to pay insurance, the tough, they dont have insurance. If they get sick and need expensive care, at that point they need to sell the car, sell the house and pay their own way.
Besides, the ACA is not going to be giving those people a subsidy just because they spent their 250,000 a year salary on homes and cars. They will still be expected to pay full price. This is where the being forced to downsize comes in to play. If they dont want insurance, then they should not have to buy it. Just dont come looking for the free care if something happens.
Do we have to go there again? Many Americans don't want to spend their tax dollars on the most expensive military budget in the world...
tough, allocated in the constitution.
healthcare is not. We need to get rid of the ACA and just go back to what it was. I was doing perfectly fine for my entire life without government programs to cater to my needs.
Sure it is allocated...but the amount is not specified. Give me a reason why we should be spending more than the next top 5 countries in the world combined? I'll wait while I let my beard grow to me knees.
What are the populations of those countries?
Uh, two of those countries are India and China so...I'm not sure where your argument is going?
They are China, United Kingdom, France, Russia, and India.
China- 1.38 billion people
India- 1.32 billion people
United Kingdom- 65 million
France- 64.7 million
Russia- 143.4 million
United States- 324.5 million
