I don't mind "insurance for everybody" as an option....as long as no one is forced to buy it. Think back to O's primaries against hillary. He said his problem was different from hers because he wouldn't have a mandate.

If DJT's plan has a mandate, he's failed us on this promise.

AND as long as I don’t have to pay for theirs.

You want to make it like car insurance with a range of coverages? That would work for me...just don’t make me pay an uninsured fee.

You will be forced to buy it if you’re a taxpayer. If you’re a freeloader it will be given to you, gratis, in exchange for your freedom.

Agreed. And define “insurance.”

I don't mind if other people have insurance as long as it doesn't affect me negatively. BTW, I have been buying insurance before and after O-care which makes me an “expert.”

Why do all of Socialism's solutions result in someone else having give up something so that other can have theirs too? Why should quality suffer and value nose dive and costs increase so that the uninsured are covered?

“Insurance for everybody” ceases to be insurance, it’s simply wealth redistribution.

Insurance is a classic example of risk management. If they are prevented from managing risk by rejecting, or limiting certain types of would-be policy holders or health conditions, there is no way to manage the risk, other than to raise premiums, co-pays and deductibles to outrageously high levels.

Not forcing people to pay for things they neither need or want, like abortion, maternity, pediatrics, drug rehab, etc. Will make it much more affordable. Allowing young healthy people to buy catastrophic insurance would be an incentive also rather than a mandate. High risk people could be put into another pool and if their coverage needed assistance it would be a lot less expensive for everyone to just do that than the way the ACA socialized plan is.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who remembered that. Obama is amazing, he managed to show he is less honest than Mrs. Clinton.
