Dogs and Cats, Lying Together

I never thought I’d find myself agreeing with the ultra-liberal Kos on something:
My position on #HCR — kill it if it includes mandate. Strip out the mandate, then what’s left is inoffensive. Not reform, but inoffensive.
It’s still offensive, but Kos is being reasonable. The individual mandate is basically a government-forced transfer of wealth from every American to insurance companies. The insurance companies get to tax you for being alive!

Sounds like the British BBC tax (“licence fee”)on televisions, where they assume you have a television and tax you and make you prove you don’t have a television and then don’t believe you and tax you anyway to support the propaganda that supports their ability to tax you. It’s the definition of stone-cold ripoff.

You cannot force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions if there’s no mandate. why would anybody ever buy insurance? if you don’t get sick you keep the money. if you get cancer, just get insurance then!

Good Point. Drop the mandate and the bill is not a complete give-away to the insurance companies
