dbapig the autoinsurance example fails. You have to pay autoinsurance because when you drive you can kill someone and damage thier property. You must have autoinsurance to be able to drive. You should not be forced to pay health insurance to live. Come on now lets at least argue in a fair manner.

FAIL. A person walking down the street with drug-resistant TB can infect you and you can die. An unmedicated schizophrenic can stab you. A food worker with undiagnosed hepatitis can infect and sicken dozens.

Having a basic level of health maintenance for everyone occupying the same space guards the health of all.
