Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125]
For most people driving a car is a necessity. Some people can get away not driving a car, but for pretty much everyone else, you are forced to carry car insurance, and pretty much everyone does it and doesn't complain.Interesting position. Is there a "tax" for not driving a car? Is there a situation where you could just not have to pay car insurance? Answer is yup, don't drive a car.
What you're essentially doing is equating a voluntary action like "driving a car" to living. So, I guess in a way you're right, if you don't want to pay the tax or get bloated insurance you could just kill yourself, but I guess that logic would apply to any law really.
Just what exactly are those alternatives, self-pay?What people neglect are the alternatives to big bloated insurance that many people choose to use because they are more practical for them. No, your options aren't just buying a 400 buck a month insurance plan or leeching off the public dime.
