    Business is business. Money is money. It doesn't matter what industry.
    Sure, there will be an industry wide price standard, but just like with anything, it will be based on the cost of producing the product.

    And you are REQUIRED to buy this product.

    You are going to buy it at some point in your lifetime. Unlike a TV.

    Do you know what the term capitalism is? Do you know what freedom is?

    I don't appreciate your line of questioning. I think you are getting a little over emotional about our conversation.

    I don't appreciate you telling me that you think it is right that the Government is FORCING me to buy a product.

    I would argue that nature is forcing you to buy healthcare, not the government. Your teeth are forcing you to see a dentist. Your hair forces you to go to the barber. Your toenails force you to buy a toenail clipper. Well, maybe not those last two.

    No, none of that is. If I want to be a slob, I should have that right. The Government isn't my mother telling me to go see a dentist, cut my hair, or trim my toenails. That is stuff *I* decide to do.

    You have the right to be miserable but I bet if you broke a bone you wouldn't refuse to go to the hospital.

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

    You don't know me buddy. I've refused to go to medical for a lot of things even when it was free to get taken care of.

    I like how you keep arguing about how it is right for the government to force citizens to purchase something.
