    LOL at you bringing up a living wage now.

    Since you want a living wage so bad, I am sure you pay all your employees at LEAST 15$ an hour to work at your hotdog stand, right?

    I still can't believe you think that if minimum wage is say 15 an hour, that prices won't go up for every single thing we buy. Yes, including insurance.
    This space for sale.

    And owning a car is what sort of requirement? You can choose to not have a car. You can ride a bus. You can walk. You can ride a bike. The ACA is a requirement no matter what you do.

    Your blind allegiance to corporate sponsored propaganda is perplexing because I give most people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to them actually having a brain that produces original thoughts.

    If you want to drive you have to have car insurance. But that was not the argument. The argument was if 250 million people are going to pay for healthcare the insurance market will be more competitive.

    As for the ACA requirement that everyone has to have heath insurance... think of it this way. Everyone will need to see a doctor at some point in their lives.

    You aren't required to drive, however if you are alive and living in the US, you are required to buy a product. Get the difference? It won't be more competitive. The Insurance companies will collude and keep prices at a certain price... Just like cable, just like car insurance (it could be a LOT cheaper), just like any other item for sale.

    These companies exist to make as much money as possible, and they will.

    There is a N word that exists for people like you, and no, I don't mean the racist one.

    You're mixing up the arguments. But thats beyond my control.

    Yes, the companies will make money, just like any product. But just like any product there will be competition. Just like flatscreen tvs. Or anything really.

    No, I'm not mixing up anything at all. You don't think the health insurance companies won't collude and set a minimum price? Look at the history of everything, it happens. Look at gas prices. You don't think Gas Company A couldn't sell for a lot less? They could. They don't want to.

    Business is business. Money is money. It doesn't matter what industry.
