its mandatory if this passes. Doesnt matter if you are in a family, by yourself or whatever. If you dont get health insurance, you get a fine and of course if you dont pay the fine, you go to jail. This country is screwed.

thats a dumb idea that insurance companies would love. without a public option you are forcing people to pay whatever the insurance companies can get away with charging. they have no incentive to compete or cut costs.

If the plan by Baucus passes individuals and families will have to pay a fine if they don't get insurance.

The only tiny problem I can see is that it is a senate proposal and not apart of any one bill yet.

By the way if that is your best argument to this otherwise disgusting proposal then you might want to rethink your positions.

You will gain contempt if you keep floating around in this limbo land of yours.

you are NOT required to insure your OWN car, you're required to insure your LIABILITY in an accident for damage to OTHER cars
