[Outraged At FLA]

"True liberty is when you are not forced to support those who refuse to pay their own way even if they can afford it. Why tax everyone because some are cheating?"

So then stop requiring hospitals to accept people. There is nothing in the Constitution protecting that. True liberty is living with the choices you have made. You choose not to buy health insurance, and you get sick, you have to face the consequences. Creating a mandate just rips a piece of the Constitution off, and throws it away..

Easier said than done. If people are refused emergency care for lack of insurance, there will be a firestorm. It will never pass congress, I will bet any amount of money you want. We do not let people die from hunger or lack of emergency hospital care in United States.

Naw, the better option is to let people who can afford health insurance be required to help push the cart instead of riding in it free of charge. My state requires us to buy Auto liability insurance for similar reasons.

You are correct, constitutionally no one is guaranteed health care. But we have to live in the real world of today.
