Follow us at: twitter.com/verumserum. The Democrats have been promoting a public healthcare plan “option” as being all about consumer “choice” and market “competition”. But is this really the case?

Question by Steve: How do opponents of the health insurance mandate actually choose not to have health?
(I don’t mean good health or bad health, I simply mean “health”).

When the people who oppose the health insurance mandate are asked why they don’t oppose a car insurance mandate, they usually reply that:

you’re only required to buy car insurance if you own a car, and you don’t need car insurance if you don’t own a car.

Following the same logic it would mean that:

you should only be required to buy health insurance if you have health, and you don’t need health insurance if you don’t have health.

So, how exactly do the opponents of the health insurance mandate choose not to have health?
And, of course, the people who choose not to buy health insurance, and who get hit with a debilitating illness are NEVER going to go to a hospital? When they can’t pay – the hospital will simply pass the cost along to all the other people who do carry insurance. Some personal responsibility.
@AC: because when someone ends up having to go into the hospital, they usually can’t pay for it out of pocket. And when they don’t pay for it out of pocket, the hospital makes me and everyone else pay for it through higher prices.

And to all: remember, I said when I said health – I specifically said “not good health or bad health, I simply mean health”.
