I 100% agree that having to buy health insurance simply because you're alive is BS.
I also think that having to pay the government money for any reason to own personal property of any kind is just as bad. I guess the difference between me and everyone else is that I'm just as uncomfortable with mandatory car insurance as I am with mandatory health insurance (sorry, I don't watch or read mainstream spin media so I have no idea how the partisan lines are currently framed in this debate - I just calls 'em like I sees 'em...)
What next, mandatory homeowners insurance? Mandatory pet insurance? When does the government stop mandating and get the hell out of our personal lives?
The only capable use the government can serve is keeping the borders safe (fail) and economy humming (fail).
Wake me up when the real issues become relevant again...
