I mean, if you have a car, you have to have car insurance. Right? Gtfoh.

That's bc you run the risk of hurting others with a car.
-
The reason they can force you to get car insurance is because you don't have to have a car. The only way to avoid being fined because you still can't afford health insurance is to die.
-
Who's willing to not own a vehicle in order to keep from paying car insurance? The only people who don't own cars either can't financially or rely on someone else, whether that be car pooling or public transportation.

You ever been to New York city? There is almost no place to park there and where there is it almost always cost money to park there. It is cheaper take a cab in NY than it is to drive your self.

Edited by ClusiveC: 7/13/2015 4:15:37 AMOhkay, so in one state, it's more expensive to own a car than to not own one, even though traffic is almost always a constant problem. Doesn't matter in the end. My only point is to show that Obama is not the [b]worst[/b] US president we've had. Good vs. Bad policies is another debate entirely.

Actually New York was just one example. In most major cities around the world it is easier to get around wih public transportation. As for Obama my only problem with him is that he seems more interested in making sure people don't just remember him as the first black president than listening to the people. Honestly I am tired of politicians. It's probably the only reason I think Trump should get the job.

"Most major cities around the world" is not the same thing as most major cities in the United States. The question is "Since when can the GOVERNMENT FORCE US TO BUY THINGS", which has already been answered when I said that the government forces you to buy car insurance if you own a car. Owning a car is a choice, but buying car insurance if you own that car is [b]not[/b] a choice. Therefore, the government has been forcing people to pay for something. Maybe not everyone, because not everyone owns a car, but the fact still stands.

Buying a car is a choice health insurance is not.

Like I told the other dude - before it's all said and done, you're going to own a car. The only way to get out of that is to either rely on public transportation, or to rely on car-pooling; both of which are far less reliable than simply having your own car. I'd rather have health insurance than to not have it, personally. I don't know anyone who'd rather go through life without it. If you're investing money in anything, then why not healthcare? At the end of the day, a bad healthcare system is not = to being the worse POTUS, so I'm still in the blue on my original comment.
