You can argue with me all you want, but the fact is, if you don't have medical insurance and something catastrophic happens, you'll pay one way or another- whether it be losing your house, your business, making payments, having crap credit- whatever. Hell, most medical insurance has a cap anyway, and you're left owning a ton of money regardless of the situation. It should be the choice of a person.

Did you know that more liberty does not equal a better life?
Did you know that total liberty is virtually no different than no liberty?
So many Americans cling to this #######ized conception of liberty as if it is something to be maximized. What the best countries in the world realize (a list the United States is nowhere near IMO) is that liberty is not something to maximize, but to
optimize.
Until Americans realize this as a society, they will continue to have incredibly bloated health care costs, Wall Street bailouts, endemic gun violence and a bifurcated class system.
