In other words, you want all government to be privatized. If you want police and fire protection, you have to voluntarily pay for it. If you want to drive on roads and bridges you have to pay money to the private companies owning then. If you want to go to the lake or park, you have to pay to get in and so on for everything else. Enjoy for as long as your money lasts.
So forcing other people at gunpoint to pay for your expenses is your great idea?

Same failed assumptions and methodology that lead to the infamous book "The population bomb".
In simple terms, Bob is driving down a road towards a cliff at 60mph but the road bends to the right before that.

The whole premise of the thread is ridiculous fear mongering and requires no free market reaction with lots of money to be made.

Yep. Insurance industry lobbyists wrote Obamacare. And some wonder why it was so costly which absolutely decimated the middle class (who didn't get subsidies, by the way).
