Government forcing us into any insurance plan whatsoever is socialism and it’s unconstitutional.
Exactly.
Seems your point is too simple for them to understand.
Much like Romney’s Socialized Medical Plan, they have to make it real complicated so only they can understand.
Thanks, Jim.
Do you feel the same about auto insurance?
1. The problem is that the FEDERAL government has since 1986 MANDATED that all hospitals take emergency patients regardless of ability to pay.
2. The uninsured leave behind roughly $1,000 APIECE in unpaid medical bills EVERY YEAR.
3. 85% of those unpaid bills end up being absorbed by taxpayers; the rest is absorbed by higher bills paid by everyone else.
An individual mandate is nothing more than an effort to shift that $1,000 in unpaid bills back to where it belongs.
Would we be better off in a world where hospitals and doctors could freely elect to leave the uninsured to die in the streets if they lacked the means to pay?
It doesn’t really matter, since until/unless Romney becomes president, he as governor was stuck with inconvenient truths #1-#3 above. An individual mandate isn’t perfect, but it’s certainly more fair than the status quo.
I never like those words : Government forcing us, makes me clean and oil my guns.
