Healthy people would disagree. Why should I have to pay for people who don't exercise each day or eat healthy food? It's not benefiting me to have to pay more to save someone elses life when they could have chosen a healthier lifestyle.
By the way - you come across as though you think having babies IS a disease. Someones baby will be wiping your behind in a nursing home one day. I do hope you're grateful when the time comes.
Completely wrong analogy - apple. and oranges.
Nobody can guarantee they are always healthy - hence the insurance. Also not buying insurance used to be by choice but Obama changed that.
You see you equate having babies to a disease, I said multiple times having babies is a personal choice while we can't choose to not have diseases.
When you passed a law, it IS like someone going through our wallet and taking money that is ours, also with a gun on our head. Do I have the choice of not paying the taxes?
Yes. You can leave the country or go to jail for tax evasion.

Not long enough to realize that the US tax system isn't a la carte. You pay for the system, not what you use.
You wouldn't have a superiority complex would you? Those who truly are complacent with themselves don't feel the need to run down others in order to build themselves up.
Saying you sound miserable is name calling, but calling me selfish isn't.
You honestly don't get that you sound extremely unhappy here with our system and that you are the one who is selfish.
Your support for using other people's money to raise your own children is selfish. That's just a fact.
