Make insurance illegal. (And watch PEOPLE collapse.)

"Government" (that's you and me) are already paying for sick people without insurance or the means to pay.

Why require insurance for homes or cars, just let government pay when they suffer accidents. That's what's happening in health care now. All Romney is saying is that if you don't save for a rainy day, then we will take what you should be saving anyway.

Please don't change my words.

I grew up in a time where almost no one had health insurance. People weren't dying in the streets. Office visits were $5, and (late lamented) house calls were $7. (Maybe $50 and $70 respectively today with all the money the government has printed in the interim.) The BS is that the technology advances have diven the price up. But try to think of another technology based field (e.g. TV's, computers, air fare) where real prices have increased. (One of my first Rush calls was about this.)
