Please don't bring up Obamacare. Come January I don't know what I will do for insurance for the wife. Everyone is pulling out of the market where I live. What's left is BC hmo and the local hospital doesn't take it and there are no exceptions for going out of network. I can only hope that someday Obama's family has to try to use Obamacare if it is still here and they find out that an insurance card doesn't mean care. Of course, we are just peons and not part of the monarchy.Soccerdad1995 wrote:Or the government could just mandate that everyone carry health insurance or pay a fine.

Why are we so hung up though on confessing our sins and telling about all of these wonderful LEO encounters? I personally don't remember such friendly stops in my youth in California where I could swear the cops were former Gestapo agents. It was California though.
Using that logic, anyone who chooses not to carry health insurance is a burden to society and the government needs to regulate being over weight, drinking, smoking, skydiving, being a private pilot, etc.
I don't need big brother telling me what to do. I have it covered.

Re: Seatbelt Ticket
You have my philosophy wrong sir. I am not suggesting that big brother tell you what to do. I am suggesting that I don't want to pay for your mishaps. I don't care if anyone wants to pursue "risky" behavior as long as they pay for any bad outcomes and the money doesn't come from me or mine. The problem with health insurance is that if you use it a lot it raises my rates too. There is always cash though.steveincowtown wrote:I wear a seat belt religiously, but wouldnt be a burden on soceity if the unthinkable happened.
