Liberals supporting the health care bill keep trying to pull that bogus argument that we are "forced to buy car insurance, forced to buy federal insurance for a CDL, and forced to buy insurance when you get a mortgage - so this is no different."
To those who haven't really thought things through...
1) Car insurance is not required by the government, and even some states like NH do not require it. More important, you only need insurance if you CHOOSE to drive. It is a choice you make, and when you make choices you can expect to pay the required costs. You are not FORCED to carry auto insurance - you can avoid it by using public transit. You cannot avoid buying health insurance. THAT is the difference.
2) A CDL allows you to get into a 10 ton machine and barrel down busy highways at 70 MPH. Any mistake and someone is toast. So, yes - there are requirements you must meet if you are going to have that kind of power over life and death. And, like driving a car, it is a CHOICE you make. Not every American is required to have federal TT insurance - only those who CHOOSE that. THAT is the difference.
3) When you get a mortgage, you do NOT own the property free and clear. The bank has a LOT of money invested in YOUR property, so they have a RIGHT to protect their interest by requiring insurance. Don't want homeowners insurance? Fine - either pay cash, or rent a home. Again, YOUR CHOICE.
And that is the difference. In the case of health care, the government has taken away all choice. Though we are supposed to be free citizens, we no longer are free to make choices for ourselves.
And THAT is the difference.
And I find it puzzling that liberals, all to quick to scream "free choice" when it comes to killing babies, but they have no problem with stifling everyone else's right to free choice.
