[pianotech] FW: Medical costs (OT!) was:billing dilemma

[Dean May]

And since food and housing is even more basic than medical care, let's force
everyone to pay to make sure everyone has food and housing. Oh wait, we're
already doing that. My bad.

Huge difference, David. Auto insurance is mandated by each individual state,
NOT the federal government.  Secondly, I can choose not to participate in
the auto insurance mandate by simply not owning a car or not driving. I can
take public transportation to get around.  I'm only compelled to pay if I
actually participate.  Mandated health insurance gives me no such option.  I
pay whether I want to or not. If the federal government can force you to buy
a product they think you should own, then what's next?  Everyone has to buy
a GM car or face an Auto Tax?  I mean they do have to make their money back
on their investment...

The discussion has become somewhat misdirected.  The point I was trying to
make is that the incurred costs that the uninsured often end up not paying
are born by someone.  The argument for mandated health insurance is not a
lot different than mandated auto insurance.
