I’m in Cantor’s district and didn’t vote for him this time. I’ve met and talked to him personally, privately. He’s a RINO mostly interested in position & power....old school Republican, and not a true conservative.
I wrote him a protest letter about TARP when Bush was president, and got a form letter response that was written to the hundreds or thousands who had protested like I did. It was all spin.
If I meet him again, I’ll say, “Why don’t you make all auto insurance companies accept pre-existing conditions then? I can total my car, the call up Allstate, Nationwide or GEICO and say, ‘Hey, you gotta insure me now and pay to get my wrecked car fixed!’ “
You remove all actuarial and accounting bases for the whole concept of insurance, and you destroy the industry.
DUH!!!!
Obamacare is the government forcing everyone to buy insurance.
The truth is the market can “force” people to buy insurance if the government would just leave things alone and responsible people understood that if they leave a gap in their insurance, and they get sick or injured while uninsured, they are going to be uninsurable at regular rates and may be subject to a waiting period — imposed by the market, not the government.
IOW, in addition to everything else that’s wrong with this, is a logic error to say healthcare can only work when most people are insured — but allowing the market to put pressure on people to insure is bad, using the government to force people to insure is good.
