Thats my fault for a bad example. I know it is state mandated and macintosh apples to green apples.
I think it is mandated in 49 of 50 states.
The point is, it is still a mandated purchase, intended to protect you AND others from your actions (or an accident). |

Any my point was that it's a conditionally mandated purchase. If someone doesn't agree with paying for auto insurance or cannot afford it, they can ride a bike.
On the other hand, the ACA is an mandated purchase for being a living, breathing human being. If you disagree with ACA or cannot afford it, tough crap - pay up anyway. |

Actually, that isn't true. There is assistance to pay for it if you can't afford it. The alternative is the current system, where if you can't pay for it, you go in uninsured and everyone pays for it anyway. If you don't want to pay for it, you get hurt and everyone else pays for it. How is that a better system? |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Should that 50th state be required to mandate it because the other 49 have? And if the Federal Gvt. can mandate health care for all of us why shouldn't it mandate auto insurance, or anything else for that that matter, for all of us? If the Federal Gvt need not be limited to its Constitutionally limited powers to mandate, but can mandate anything, are the states even necessary? Would it not be better to eliminate the mish-mash of 50 different governments, and all of us then be gathered under the mandate of one central government? Are the states necessary? Are they merely obstacles to good, uniform government? |
