And we will give them (the poor) money to buy it.
I still can't believe you have car insurance.
I don't have car insurance.
Never have.
And we thank you for our increased premiums.
Douchebag.

So surprised... so you support mandates for medical insurance?
You're the reason we have uninsured motorist coverage, which we pay extra for.
But let's get one thing straight, the only auto insurance that is required is liability. You are not insuring property, you are insuring the chance of property damage or bodily injury. There is no mandate that you need 'Full Coverage'. Some people don't need it on their 94 Toyota Camry when it costs them more to insure it each year than it is worth.
The people that choose not to get health insurance are doing what's called risk retention. People should be able to not purchase it if they so desire. Next thing you know, we're not going to be able to clean our own house because there will be a mandate that you have to use a professional maid.
Health insurance for me would cost more than my auto insurance (for a youthful male), my homeowner's insurance for a 4 bedroom house, and my 1 mil return of premium life insurance, and it would still have a high deductible. Since I haven't been to the doctor in 6 years, and the only thing he did for me then was give me something for nausea when I had a 2 week stomach virus, and the last time I had to get any sort of stitches was in 1998, I think risk retention is a halfway decent idea.
