re: #483 Obdicut

The point is that it isn’t just your business alone; if you, without health insurance, are involved in a car accident and rushed to the hospital, unconscious, and have millions of dollars of life saving work provided for you— which I would definitely want done for you— and are unable to pay for it, then that debt will be spread out amongst those people who do pay for health insurance, and amongst the tax payers who pay for subsidies for hospitals, doctor training, etc.

That’s leaving out that it’s in my best interest for you to get regular checkups to avoid spreading contagious diseases, etc.

No man is an island, and there are few places that’s truer than healthcare.

The logical conclusion of this argument is that since you have a financial interest in other peoples’ health, you get a say in how they conduct their lives and business. I’m wondering what philosophical system you base this belief on.
