Blue Wrote:... No mandatory insurance PERIOD ...Americans seem to think some things are god given. After all we are a nation under god. If someone goes to a hospital and does not have insurance YOU pay for their care. The care they receive is low grade at a high un regulated cost.
YOU are forced to have auto insurance
YOU are forced to have home owners
YOU are forced to have business insurance
why?
because no one wants to clean up YOUR mess.
governments provide services to the general public
-national security, big cost here, we start wars in far away countries (war on terror)
-we have public education (if your different expect a good bashing)
-we have public infrastructure, (have you paid for driving on a commercial maintained highway, it was expensive right like a dollar or two a mile to drive on)
-we have a legal system (incarcerate the most citizens of any democracy)
health insurance is not really insurance:
if you are gay you should pay higher premiums
the ladies should pay more too, pregnancy is a preventable disease (the war on women is real)
