Exactly. If I choose not to carry Comprehensive and/or Collision coverage on my automobile, the state doesn't make me pay a tax penalty. Any loss to my auto is first party, against me. It's my choice.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't necessarily have to buy liability insurance either if you post a surety bond. At least you used to be able to do that as impractical as it may be.

Pretty much fun for a Clueless Conservative also :cheerful: I have absolutely No clue about this ACA crap. Just what Yall mouth of at each other about.
I will be polite because I think you are a good counter point to many on this board. But, the fact that you made this argument makes me question your claim of 20 years in healthcare. In that time, I would assume you would understand the different facets of insurance. Fan lays them out plainly. Second, single payer is the way to go if you are a healthy individual but certainly NOT if you work in healthcare.
I'm clueless about ACA too - it's an implementation detail to me. I don't care if healthcare is fully private or fully socialist and I don't care which party is claiming they invented it. Bottomline is how much does it cost me and how good are the benefits and service. Over the last couple of decades, my costs have gone up every year more than inflation and the service has been chipped away at. This new plan may not help, but the old one needed some work. Sometimes, I don't think the politicians want to improve things - they just want to win the battle with the other guy.
21 years. 3 degrees. My point is that we were all dealing with the effects of people not having insurance. The initial plan was designed by the heritage foundation and implemented by Romney. Hardly a socialist foundation. Medicare is much more socialist in nature.
There are clues. It has never been popular with the citizenry, and the democrats rammed it through anyway. Roberts is ruling the SCOTUS in an unlawful way, and we are majorly going downhill fast.
I guess Justices Scolito and Thomas little private meeting with the Koch brothers didn't turn out so well. The Supreme Count didn't just say Yes, they said HELL YES ! 6 - 3 Not even close. Congress can improve the ACA if they choose to but I'm sure not holding my breath on that happening. 5-0
People still don't have health insurance. And, it's cost is still higher with a narrower set of doctors to see. And, the poor are still using the emergency room. What ACA did was drive smaller health insurers out of the marketplace and force people to pay for coverages they don't need. A win-win for the largest insurers.
---The Four Liberals on the Court don't even consider the Constitution ---All of their votes are political-----No idea what Roberts is thinking
