I loathe freeloaders who take risks and then are unable to pay the humongous hospital bills. If it takes a law to prevent that theft, so be it. If it takes a law to prevent one from robbing banks so be it. If it takes a law to prevent one from burglarizing others, so be it.
Those who refuse to take responsibility for their hospital costs are no better than a thief who steals your wallet. Because they are stealing my money in the form of higher premiums to pay for their cheating.
Having a law on the books does not mean more government in your life any more than a law against bank robbery. Try to think on deeper levels instead of forming knee jerk opinions .
Who is going to end up being forced to buy insurance for those that are mandated to, but cannot afford it?
