You do not have to have health insurance to make sure you are stupid enough to get sick from preventable health issues. Where does it make you healthly just by having insurance?

You guys are funny, I do not need insurance to access a health professional and the new HC law is not affordable as the name states for small business and individuals, oh this is most of America. My wifey who made enough money yearly before we met made the decison to not purchase HC and paid out of pocket for her needs and did not drag on the taxpayers, does she have insurance now only because of me or she would still have the option to purchase or not and that is what America is built on freedom not being told we have to buy something. Yes I own a car but I do not have to and then I would not need car insurance, I own my home and it is my choice again to carry insurance, again choice not forced to purchase a product.

Pulling 50 billion a year for atleast the next 10 years from seniors HC is the libs telling you when you get old just die baby die

I'm glad someone is looking out for all the American People and not just the Privilege few.
Comparing mandatory auto insurance to mandatory health insurance is pure crap.

In most states you are only required to carry liability insurance which covers the other person. There is no law stating that you have to cover your own property.

-Mandatory auto insurance covers damage you do to other people.
-Mandatory health insurance covers damage to yourself.

They are completely different.

Being forced to have comprehensive coverage if you have a loan and the vehicle is owned by the bank is in your loan agreement and is there to protect the bank's investment. It is not a law.

IF you read it, that's not what I'm saying. If you don't care about your health, that's fine with me.

But when the EMT show up, they don't ask the Public any questions. They take care of the Sick.

Know the difference first,

Read what I said again. I never said states allowed you to drive without insurance. I said they let you drive without COMPREHENSIVE insurance. I have liability only on a few of my cars...

All states (I think) require liability. None that I have ever lived in require comprehensive.

Which goes back to what I said in the first place. The insurance laws are there to protect the person you hit. There is nothing saying you have to protect yourself (which is why it isn't comparable to health insurance)

You're right... your post wasn't the one I should have quoted. I was more responding to the one below.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if the Un-Healthy didn't affect anyone else. Not different if you went out and flipped your car and damaged nothing but your own car. But that's not the case.

I see ... so Obamacare (reform) is like auto/home insurance ... you get a name-your-own-price gun based on what coverage you can afford ... except Congress ... they get to max out the name-your-own-price gun and give it back to you with crumbs left and you pay for it ... that's how I see the (R) Obamacare repeal ...

The effects and costs to others are certainly a part of it. There is no arguing that but it is still way way different than auto insurance (which was my only point). Mandated liability auto insurance protects an individual who you have wronged. If you smash into somebody, your insurance directly pays that individual. That is COMPLETELY different than mandated health care.

If you have noticed, I have not said one thing about mandated health care being a good thing or a bad thing. I am not arguing that. I am simply saying that it is not anywhere close to the same thing as laws mandating that you have liability insurance to drive your car.

Name-your-own-price Gun ... minimum liability is/are for those who can barely afford insurance but need or want to drive ... if you get into wreck and/or you send someone to the hospital that costs over say $20,000 ... you pay the rest.

Sound familiar with regards to Obamacare ?

Have you completely missed the point of what I am saying?

-Obamacare forces you to protect yourself.

-Auto liability insurance protects the other person.

Like Chas said, with health issues there are indeed trickle down effects to others but that is not the main reason for Obamacare... not even close. The main cause is the undying need for people to try to protect us from ourselves.

Driving is a choice.

Obamacare makes somebody pay for insurance simply for existing.

Another fundamental difference between the 2 things.

Another fundamental of Obamacare is the creation of a better healthier economy ... and I can see it would be going through one ear and out the other if I digressed on item by item with specifics ...

Nobody is gonna put you in jail for not having Obamacare ... that's a neocon fear agenda ...

... but they will put you in jail and impound your car for not having auto insurance and/or a drivers license (and why do you need a drivers license as a Gerogia (R) congressman wants to get of ...)
