“To my post above let me add that I am 100% in favor of PRIVATE insurance only. I am 100% against government run health service of any kind.”
That’s how people with SENSE, would think.
The moment the government mandates the purchase of private insurance - makes it a crime for a human to not buy a product, even if it's from the private sector, simply for the act of being alive - the government is 100% involved.
We are either free and sovereign citizens or we are hypothecated labor units to other entities - slaves.
Even the IRS doesn't make a person with no income pay taxes. There is no difference between the federal government forcing people to buy insurance and forcing people to purchase a Chevy Dolt - even if they don't drive.
It only makes sense if you're one of those people who also think that the best way to control crime is to lock every single person up so that there is no way for anybody to ever commit a crime to begin with. That's the logic of Fascists, but it's nothing you'll find in the Declaration Of Independence, nor the Constitution.
