Isn’t that true of many regulations enforced by the heavy hand of government?

Think about this: insurance in it's design is like a form of socialism.

Many healthy people put money in the pot. The money is to be used to pay the medical bills of the few who get sick.
The amount of money you must put in the pot is based solely on the odds that you will need medical attention. This is fair.

However the government wants to kink the system so that people that are wealthier will have to pay more than their fair share.
Additionally the people that are low risk will have to pay as much as the high risk people.
This is wealth redistribution on top of wealth redistribution. This is no longer helping those in need. This is pillaging and plundering. We are now a full on socialist country.
