... and we , who have health insurance , will not have to pay for your healthcare.
Good lord, am I reading this correctly? Did a resident lefty just suggest there should be no mandate to buy health insurance and if an uninsured person requires healthcare, they're at the mercy of charity?
Deal!
OK Penelope that two of us in agreement with you!
Totally agree that the point is NOT to force insurance as the only choice
and NOT to force taxpayers to pay if this is the requirement you want.
Now I happen to believe that prolife and antidrug advocates
ALSO have this right NOT to pay for
* abortions
* recreational drug use and its related costs
* people who refuse to get help for addictions or abuse that cost taxpayers
for medical or criminal/prison costs.
If everyone has different rules for what they will agree to pay for or NOT pay for,
that's where I'm saying Federal Govt should leave these to the taxpayers and/or parties
to decide and create their own TERMS and CONDITIONS FOR THEIR MEMBERS.
Taxpayers can choose the collective plans of Democrats/Liberals who want singlepayer on a national level,
or Republicans/Conservatives who want free market choices and free choice of charity,
or their own choices.
So as you say, if taxpayers don't agree to health insurance mandates, they don't sign up for your plan.
And you don't have to pay for them.
But if you and your colleagues believe in drug legalization, you may end up paying
for a bunch of deadbeats who can't work and become disabled if they mess up their brains with drugs.
So be CAREFUL what you legalize or mandate, because you should pay for that also!
Last I checked gov funds do no pay for abortions.
Do you pay taxes? Or are you like Trump, a real freeloader.
