So what you are saying Steve is that,hypothetically we'll say um, a
salesman that earns off of commission and has to provide him/her self
with health insurance but chooses not to ,would have to pay a tax to
the government . The same government that would provide social
security if illness or injury prevented said salesman from working or
the government would provide a medical procedure or medicine to solve
the problem so the previously mentioned salesman could get back out
and work.
Sounds like a system that forces someone to be accountable for his/
her self or at least make them pay taxes for healthcare that he/she
would inevitably need wether now or in the future .
If it taxes someone a little now to pay for them later sounds good
to me.
I sure don't thinks it's fair for someone to use my tax money for
health issues that they should pay for themself if you haven't taken
responsible measures.
Sure bank big now ,live high on the hog ,pass your savings on to
your kids then sponge off of Social Security or Medicaid . Just as bad
as the able-bodied sponges living in section 8 housing while they and
their unmarried boyfriend or girlfriend work.
Seems you are the epitomy of the used car salesman stereotype.
But if it was explained correctly in the previous post , it makes
sense to tax someone not insured !!
because it all boils down to who is left paying the bill when that
dumbass needs medical attention and cant afford a heart transplant or
Alzheimer's meds or 24hr assisted living or any other unforseen life
altering medical condition,such as a car accident leaving you unable
to wipe your own ass.
Can't expect you wife or kids to do that for you forever ,WHO'S
GOING TO PAY FOR IT JAMES IF YOU DON'T HAVE COVERAGE.
If you do have health insurance, be it by a private policy you pay
for or by your employer or your wife's employer then you have nothing
to cry about.
But it sounds like you don't have coverage and also it's safe to
assume you make over 120g's a year .
Otherwise why are you complaining??? And in a pinball forum no
less.
Wrong place ,but you asked for it.
