But you are not required to drive.
Not the point and a meaningless distinction. the fact is, if I want to drive, there is a mandate.
Hardly any of the food I ate growing up was inspected unless it was by my family when we harvested or killed it.
Not sure how old you are, but before inspections many people suffered from unhealthy practices. You can look that up if you are so inclined. With deregulation recently we saw tainted peanut butter.
Again, no one requires you to drive.
Also same as above.
Don't much care for that one either but that's beside the point.
yes it is.
It most certainly is different than those things. It is a mandate that you buy a private industry product for simply breathing in the US.
Not quite. It is protection for the rest of us who do in fact pay for you if you're wrong about your future. Again, we're paying for people right now, before reform.
We don't have a problem. Ghetto babies without insurance might have a problem, but I don't have that problem.
Yes, you do. You're paying for them right now.
I am comfortable and even happy with the service for cost ratio I experience now. What I am angry about is how I am about to be responsible for others and their care.
You are now. Again, right now you are paying for them and have been long before this reform.
