Well, it seems to me it’s coming down to personal responsibility and if you end up broke when you’re old then tough. I can see why that would be so, but at the same time I find it difficult to accept.

Doesn’t it go hand-in-hand that if you require people to save, whichever way you support, you should support requiring people to invest in health insurance?

Fine
Then the gov’t should also “require” people to never drink soda
never eat ice cream
never smoke tobacco
never live in a town that has a smokestack
never work somewhere where they might get injured
never walk on a sidewalk where cars are on that street
