Quote from wjk:
I always wondered why the dems didn't target the high risk segment in need with a gov program when they had ALL the power (since the pubs wouldn't address it). They just went for the whole thing. That's why I feel this is a bad law. They changed it for everyone for the benefit of the few. And where is the tort reform?
Actually, I don't wonder at all why it was passed the way it was when they had all the power. Dem supporters who look in the mirror and think this isn't about control are deceiving themselves. Even if it's not the intent of the gov (questionable), it will end that way.

you aint to bright are you? thats why the government was forced to step in. the insurance companies only wanted healthy people and could maximize profits by finding ways to exclude people that could cost them money in the future.
Quote from Brass:
I don't see why. If you readily accept the need for car insurance if you drive a vehicle, then you should have no trouble accepting the rationale. Is it "Un-American" for the government to insist you have auto insurance if you own and drive a car?

I'm disappointed with the outcome but you *did* call it.
Guys on my side of the spectrum feel as though it represents a loss of freedom and individual liberty.
