[quote=DWCAP]Going back to my original post, that is the math the health care bill was balanced upon. Young people have to buy insurance to help bring the total cost per person down (provision delayed till 2014 to give political cover) and they can stay on parental plans to help people at the lowest parts of their career pay scale afford it. ie the lady on NPR.

That is still very much, ‘on topic’.[/quote]

Alright, I’d like to hear your arguments against “the math” then. Is your argument that it is “forced” and therefore inherently bad? Tyranny, socialism, and all that? I am genuinely curious. When debating someone on a topic I generally like to know their thoughts on it.

I’m wondering if you agree with me that more people in the pool lowers costs overall, but we disagree on the means (mandate). If I am right in this assumption, what do you propose besides a mandate to bring more people into the system?
