For years, conservatives have been saying to prioritize and buy health insurance. Now that the MA law is requiring them to do that, some people are complaining.
Do you not see the difference between “You should buy insurance” and “You must buy insurance?”
Fixed it.
So as a 'conservative' you see no issue with the government requiring you to spend your money on something that you may or may not need?
I don't go to the doctor. Ever. I finally broke down from needling from my friends and went for a physical. It had been about 9-10 years since my last. Lo and behold the doctor said I was in excellent health. Hit all the marks and in most cases (cholesterol, BP, heart rate) below the average. But you would require me to spend money every year for 10 years on a service I don't use. To overpay a doctor that would have to charge considerably less if left to the free market. Thanks but no thanks. I believe in personal responsibility which is why I ate right, exercised, etc. without a doctor sticking and poking me every other year.
The government takes enough money from me on the front end in taxation to pay for the ever increasing bureaucracy and international empire. I don't need them requiring me to spend the rest of my money on something I will not use. Now as the time comes I get older and I feel a pang or two, I'll sign up for insurance. And pay a higher rate because of my age. But that's my business. Not yours and definitely not the Suit's business
And people wonder why conservatives and libertarians don't want to bother voting for a party that threatens their wallets just as much as the Democrats...
