Based on your 30 reply, what do you think about mandatory auto insurance? Is it a socialist plan or is it ordered to insure personal responsibility?
"

Sorrry that you fell for the liberal PR on this, but the comparison is inapt.

Auto *liability* insurance exists because you may create a libarility via an accident and you need to have an ability-to-cover.

This is more like forcing everyone to carry collison insurance on their car.

Its Govt in your pocketbook and in your face.

"it promotes personal responsibility actually diminishes the need for socialist health insurance plans, because it keeps private insurers in the business of insuring private individuals, just as auto insurers are private."

Uh, Government regulation that stops Govt regulation?
hmmmmm.

When one gets sick and can't pay or refuses to, they are in fact a liability to society. A doctor on these threads chimed in saying that in the past 2% of medical bills were left unpaid by deadbeats. He wrote that it is 20% today. That is a liability that needs to be covered by me and you, assuming you have insurance, because it is unlikely that you have the money to pay for some biker who needs his head repaired because he neither has the sense to wear a helmet and buy insurance to protect society from his irresponsibility.

I really think that there are many so-called conservatives on this thread who think like GWB does with the federal budget. He is irresponsible as I think many are with other peoples money and the consequences of wishful thinking. It is not right to make someone else pay for ones care and it is not right to make a future generation pay for ones consumption, as GWB, through his very large budget deficits, has.
