Why do some object to a health insurance mandate when we already pay Social Security and Medicare which have? - Jules Winfield - 11-18-2012 01:04 PM
been Mandated for years?
And besides, having health insurance is the responsible thing to do if you can afford it.
And you will be able to, one way or the other.
Unless you are Mitt Romney who has no income and therefore on payroll taxes to pay.
But you are not Mitt Romney.
Having health insurance shows that you have personal initiative and are responsible.
And if you don't, we will see to it that you learn it.

Because it will be bankrupt just like social security and medicare, post office, amtrak, etc. etc.

I am also against social secuirty and think it should be optional. Most of us could do much better by saving for our own retirements

Gee, since both of those programs are awash with tales of integrity, thrift, and financial management with an enviable success record, I agree, let's add more.
For California liberals, that is called SARCASM.

Social Security has turned out to be an albatross and was designed to implode. Implosion will be in about 30 years. Obamacare is the same. I like Medicare.

It's the last gasp of those who cling to the concept that free markets will take care of themselves. It clearly is not the case with the health insurance industry whose costs are skyrocketing and putting a huge burden on the middle and lower classes. Reality is a hard pill to swallow for some.

Its only because President Obama is the one proposing it...;.if the Republican Deity Ronald Reagan passed the Affordable Care act, the rightwingers would all be wetting themselves calling it the greatest plan ever

Social Security and Medicare are paid by the individual to the US Government as a tax, and NOT by individual purchase payments to some unrelated 3rd party.

Why not force you to buy an Obama volt if you already pay to have a drivers license, you will help feed a poor ($29 hr) union worker, and save the presidency..err the environment at the same time.
