Under President Obama’s health care law, most Americans will be required to have insurance next year, and they may be subject to tax penalties if they go without coverage.
Do you people see this as something fair? Or does it impeach your rights? You can surely opt to not buy insurance if you don't want to or lack the means to, right? Is your health your concern or the state's?

I can totally see why there is a huge push for healthcare. The government has to invest in us ultimately, healthier people overall will have a positive result. Not saying I'm for mandatory healthcare, but I really see this being no different then the state saying you have to have car insurance as well. If you don't have it and you get pulled over there is still a fine, what's the difference? Are we not complaining about that because over time we got use to it?
ReplyDeleteI think your point illustrates fiscal illusion in that people are more or less sensitive to the actual cost and benefit depending on their perceptual biases.
