The government isn't making everyone buy pet rocks. The government is equalizing the costs of an essential service for all Americans.

I've broken several and not gone to the hospital....fingers and toes heal.

You're still not understanding supply and demand and you're trying to relate a requirement to a choice (health insurance v choosing to drive a car and following those requirements). Now if you said we should make everyone buy car insurance even if they don't have a car or plan to drive then sure you could, more easily, lump them together as comparable.

I think most people are like that. My argument about the broken bone was a poor one.

What I am arguing is that everyone will need to see a doctor at some point. Except for some super human exceptionally lucky people all of us at some point will visit a hospital. Healthcare is not a frivolous thing. It's not a luxury. You are born in a hospital. And there is a good reason for that.

Then why should I be required by the Government of these United States to buy a product? If I need to go to a doctor, I'll pay when I go.

So give people the CHOICE to get healthcare. I'm all for healthcare being available for everyone but as a choice not a fucking requirement. Or are you not pro-choice?

The "you were born in a hospital" portion of your post is pretty poor and tacked on. We got along just fine being born outside of hospitals didn't we? Or did we die out as a species and we're v2.3.6? What about all of those births that don't happen in a hospital today are they excluded from the healthcare purchase requirement?

Healthcare should be free but someone has to pay for it. Again I would argue that it is not the government making you buy a stuffed bear. Nature will land you in the hospital at some point in your life.

Yeah, lets take a huge step backwards. That will be great for our infant mortality rate.

If someone has to pay for it then it's not free. Since you feel strongly that healthcare should be free go to medical school and then open a care clinic. Charge nothing, ever.

I wonder if the amish have to buy in to the ACA...

But he can't. You need a license to act as a doctor.... Oh, sorry, that isn't free.

C'mon, man. Please don't turn into another guy on these boards who leaps to illogical conclusions based on backward ass assumptions.
