Like I said above I agree with that it shouldn’t be a federal solution, however …
But I do buy insurance in case I hit him once he gets into his car don’t I? And if I don’t it’s a felony…
I’m forced to pay liability on my car even if I don’t put any miles on it a year just to keep it registered. You want to complain about taxes? Complain about that bullshit. Especially considering bikes don’t have to have insurance to keep their plates. Bikes also don’t have to have front plates while it’s illegal to do the same for a car in this state.
Principle is identical just applied to different aspects of our lives. I don’t see how you guys can brush the car insurance off but be horribly upset about being encouraged/forced to buy health insurance FOR YOURSELF. Anybody here who’s never visited a hospital raise your hand. I’d rather be forced to pay to protect myself all day long than be forced to pay to protect others even if I’m not driving my cars.
