Forced health insurance purchase is essentially a tax on existence.
No one is forcing you to make money. Therefore no taxes whatsoever.

I have insurance now.

I didn't then.

Both were my decision to make.....not yours.

Not the government's.

You can see for yourself. I do not mean to endorse it, but I do pay $150/month for my insurance. chministries.org.

if you don't have insurance it's not the fault of the government.

How can anyone say such an outright lie? He must have no shame to say such a thing.

Obamacare does not force you to buy insurance. You could instead pay a tax.

If you don't take your car for the $50 services, then you're going to have a 2k problem eventually. Same with healthcare.
Then why did premiums and deductibles skyrocket under Obamacare when everyone was forced to buy insurance?

And don't give me that "they were going up anyways" crap.

It was a calculated risk sure....but it was also throwing money away as far as I was concerned at the time.

Who are you to tell me I can't make that decision on my own?

It's very simple:

If you drive, you need car insurance.

If you live, you need health insurance.

How ridiculous would it be if some yahoo say to you that he is a great driver and doesn't need car insurance?
