Hi Eric,
Sigh. You should understand that requiring auto insurance is a completely
different issue than requiring someone to purchase health care. If you
don't understand that, well, nothing more need be said.

Austin

How about car insurance, Austin? Are you opposed to mandatory car
insurance?

If
you didn't have insurance, and people simply paid the doctors for their
services, like in every other business (auto and liability insurance are
another story), the costs would be an entirely different story. A whole
industry is skimming off the top of healthcare, and is now being
mandated.
I used to be able to get catastrophic insurance. It cost me $80/month.
I
simply paid for all my doctors visits (with a discount because they
didn't
have to go through insurance) my self. Worked great. For me. It
should be
my choice to get insurance or not. Not requiring me to pay a profit to
a
particular industry.
Health care is NOT the same as insurance. Take insurance out of the
picture
when talking about health care. That hasn't been done, and that's the
major
problem I have with these discussions.

Austin
