The liberals keep bringing up that almost all states require you to have car insurance, and that requiring health insurance is the same thing.
Perhaps the big difference is that theoretically you can avoid the car insurance mandate by living in a place where you don’t need a car. But you can’t escape the health insurance mandate.
And also, car insurance is handled under state laws, not administered from Washington, DC, as Obamacare is.
Liberals must think that government can and should do everything to solve every conceivable problem. From health insurance to people grappling with poverty to global warming, the federal government is the vehicle to solve all problems. (sarcasm)
The only car insurance that is REQUIRED is liability insurance - which pays someone else if you injure or kill them with your car.
If car insurance were like 0bamaCare, it would have to cover everything that could go wrong with your car, whether by accident or by wearing out. It would also have to cover routine maintenance like oil changes, windshield wiper blades, and tires with zero deductable. Furthermore, it would have to pay for repairs to motor vehicles owned by drivers without any insurance. Under those circumstances, it would probably cost $20,000 per year just like 0bamaCare.
