If I am forced to buy insurance, every penny that goes to pay for it is a tax. Therefore 100% of everyone is being taxed whether they have insurance or not. And you have no idea how this is going to play out, there's a very good chance everyone's premiums are going to skyrocket, because people are now forced to give their money to insurance companies. Same thing happen when people were forced to buy car insurance in the 70's |

Quoting: Major_Payne And the majority that have insurance get it thru their employer. However, once businesses discover that it's cheaper for them to pay the penalty (I'm not talking about the individual penalty/tax) as opposed to paying to insure their employees then very few businesses will offer health insurance which will force most people to buy coverage in the market. THAT's when things will go to shit and fast. The price of "health insurance" is going to sky rocket...not to mention lots of other bad effects. |
