re: #580 Walter L. Newton

Whoa… I almost missed that. So, punitive damages, enforced by the government if I don’t want to be healthy.

Progressives are fine with asking the government to stay away from the rights a woman has to do what they want with their bodies, ei: abortion.

Progressives are fine with wanting to be able to ingest pot and certain other recreational drugs without interference from the government.

So, what’s the difference here? Don’t tell me what I have to do with my health. Leave my body alone.

It’s not a mandate to be healthy. It’s a mandate to pay into a pool. Same goes for taxes on other things. There’s no mandate to drive on a road but you still have to pay taxes to pay for it.
