[quote=Zeitgeist]There is a difference between those who do not want insurance and those who cannot afford it. They are all counted as uninsured. It should be a choice. Under the proposed plan you pay a fine if you do not have insurance, except if you are an illegal. Affordability does not equal increased taxes and deficits for the few of us who pay taxes. Reform is in the eye of the beholder.[/quote]
I’m sorry but i see a few gaps in your logic.
So you are opposed to requiring car insurance for every driver? I’d love not paying $$$ to the insurance companies if I had the choice. But everyone else would feel same way which means the few that pay for car insurance would pay a lot more to cover **hidden** cost of uninsured drivers.
I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t WANT health insurance for himself/herself. If they can afford it, they get it. People ‘choose’ not to get health insurance because it costs way too much. See, they are ‘forced’ not to choose health insurance…
