Health Insurance Mandate vs Mandatory Auto Insurance
Health Insurance Mandate vs Mandatory Auto Insurance
"This past week, there has been a flurry of health insurance inquiries. There is quite a debate nationally about costs of health insurance, who should pay, who should be covered, what the coverage levels should be, etc. Most pundits seem to agree that the comparison of the health insurance mandate to mandatory car insurance is not relevent. People have choices when it comes to car insurance. If they don’t want to pay for it, they don’t have to drive. The health insurance mandate, however, does not offer such choices. ..." Yep. States take the position that driving is a privilege and not a right. If one doesn't like the rules about driving one chooses not to own a car to drive. |

People (unless they are very odd indeed) don't choose not to drive because they object to paying car insurance. Its a stupid analogy. People are however prevented from driving because they can't afford the premiums, in the same way people are denied access to health care because they can't afford the premiums. |

There is no "right to a free automobile" paid for by taxes and the government if one cannot afford to buy a car. Why would you argue there is a "right to a free medical care" paid for by taxes and the government if one cannot afford to buy medical care? People who don't drive still pay taxes to build roads.

Keep in mind that the government does not BUILD hospitals (other than those for the military and VA) and PAY the staff and doctors at those hospitals. But the government does build roads using tax dollars at both the federal and state level. Planet Visitor II http://alt-activism-death-penalty.info/dictionary.html |
