Ah, silly ABC is carrying the 1000 thousand dollar health insurance fine story…

Senate Bill Fines People Refusing Health Coverage

More bullshit.

Oh, for pity’s sake!
They are going to take away the ability of people to make their own decisions about how they want to spend (or not spend) their very own money.

I have a brother who is a long-time drug addict - crack and vicodin are his drugs of choice, lately.

Needless to say, he has all sorts of health problems, going back for years.

He has no medical insurance. He “can’t afford” it. He whines about how the government should “provide” for people who “can’t afford” health insurance.

Somehow, though, he manages to “afford” to buy his drugs. And those habits are much more expensive than medical insurance would cost him.

He has decided how he is going to spend his money. And he has decided not to take care of himself. I have to tell you, I will resent like hell anything I have to pay in increased taxes so that he can have medical coverage without having to pay for it himself.
