Why do libs keep making the dumb comparison of require health insurance to auto insurance?
1. There is no federal auto insurance requirement 2. I can buy auto insurance from any state in the U. S. 3. Auto insurance company's are private. 4. They do not charge the same rate for a brand new car and a piece of cr#p, A good driver and someone with a history of reckless driving. 5. Car insurance doesn't pay for every routine maintenance needed on a car, like libs want health insurance to do. 6. I can not buy insurance after I have had a accident. preexisting condition protection doesn't apply 7. Ever heard of the Cons ution of the United States? The federal government can not make you buy anything. Which of the enumerated powers would that be? If your going to make a comparison make one that makes sense. I keep hearing it even though it makes no sense. Mr. You must either be the dumbest person if ever met or your just making fun of libs. You just gave examples of More differences not less There is no Federal police or fire department duh The federal government can not do whatever they want in the name of public safety. That was Hitler and Stalins reasoning. Why do not you take a little time to read the Cons ution? kiran C. Yeah you can use the commerce clause if you ignore the rest of the cons ution, like the 10th amendment. The supreme court has already ruled that insurance in not commerce. The commerce clause referes to interstate regulation which according to liberals own legislation health insurance is not interstate since noone can buy out of state insurance- 1. EVERY STATE HAS AN AUTO INSURANCE REQUIREMENT. 2. BUT YOU CAN"T BUY HEALTH INSURANCE FROM ANY STATE 3. Auto insurance companies compete !. Health Insurance companies collude. 4. I have the choice of which car to drive, and how or IF I want to drive. I dont' have a choice if I get sick. it just happens. Not having a car is not going to kill me. 5. Car insurance pays bodily injury and property damage. and there are minimum requirements in every state of what they have to cover ! 6. You can not drive without insurance nitwit ! 7. The cons ution allows your Democratically elected governement to act on behalf of the public interest, and they have the power to levy taxes to pay for it. and they have the power to make laws duh The comparison is real and valid. even though the circumstances are different. Explain this. why do we have taxes to pay for police and fire departments ?. to protect PUBLIC SAFETY !. so why not protect PUBLIC HEALTH ! ? Nicholas J - says what I am thinking. I no longer support the bill as it stands because there is no public "non profit" option. As it stands, thanks to weak spined fence sitting DEMS, and OBSTRUCTIONIST CONS. the bill will force us all to pay money to insurance corporations, which is the definition of fascism. NOT AT ALL WHAT I SUPPORTED 10 MONTHS AGO. Right now, I am siding with conservatives to kill the bill. because it's a skeleton of the original intent to reform health care and make it available to every citizen. Although I place a lot of blame on conservatives for acting against the public interest to begin with. NON PROFIT CHOICE. or NOTHING FOR ME. Health care is too important to give partisan support for bad legislation. and illnesses should not be seen as an opportunity for profit !
- To dumb it down to something understandable to neocons
- Liberals are not the ones that advanced this absurd comparison in the first place. It was the health insurance industry that demanded that health insurance be required. They're already trying to get rid of the requirement to cover people with preexisting conditions
- You're naive. Get ready to be FORCED to buy insurance, because you are not going to have a choice
- You are not required to buy auto insurance but if you do not you will suffer the consequences later on. Car accident will make you wish you had auto insurance, car tag can be taken if no insurance, can suspend your drivers license for no car insurance. do not know if this applies in all states but I know of several where it does. Also cannot purchase any vehicle through a car dealership without showing proof of insurance. Maybe you do not call that being forced but I do. *
- there are some differences in every comparison. but overall, here we're talking about the government be it state or federal getting involved in insurance and forcing people to buy. relatively, it's probably the best comparison you can make. of course, there are differences though. is there one Republican comparison of anything that fits 100 percent of the similarities? lol and the state forced auto insurance thing is probably not very "legal" in the eyes of most state cons utions. but since when did that ever matter? basically, you could shoot down ANY comparison ANYONE makes about ANYTHING this way. if you wanted. but most people realize that's silly
- Some people including myself write about auto insurance in comparison to health care to explain the benefits of individual mandate in health insurance. Any ogy break down somewhere but the benefits of the health care insurance reform is still there. The individual mandate is cons utional. It is covered under the Commerce Clause. For more details, see the link below. slate.com / id / 2224258 / pagenum / all / Also, community ratings determine what is the premiums are charged based on age, sex and location. Using other criteria would lead to unaffordability insurance in the long term and not prevent the moral hazard that you are trying to avoid
- Here is a better comparison: The Government runs the Post Office. They lose over $8, 000, 000, 000 a year. That is enough money to run some entire industries. Fed Ex and UPS make a profit, provide a better, more accurate service and they make a profit
- one word. Ignorance
- Liberals do not know the difference, they think we are machines to be controlled
- lol
- Yes, auto insurance is required by law in Arizona. That's why 20% of all drivers here do not have it
- i agree that the comparison is invalid. But you have missed out on the most basic reason why - there is no individual mandate anywhere to buy auto insurance. Anybody who doesn't choose to own a car skips out on the whole problem, although admittedly that's not a viable choice in a lot of rural areas
- I do not know. Because anyone can choose not to own a car. Who can choose not to own a body?
- Sure, and you can list a hundred other ways that car insurance differs from health insurance. But you're missing the main point - that there is precedent for insurance being mandatory
- I heard one say they make you pay taxes whats the difference
- True. Bad comparison. Here's a better one: You do not have health care. You go to the emergency room, but can not afford your treatment. They treat you anyway, and foot me with the bill with higher premiums. That is unfair. Thus, you must pay for health insurance
- why ill tell you why its because cars are heavily regulated by the government as they want to do to us
- I am a Liberal who can not say this enough times. Mandates are an absolute deal breaker for me! Introducing the threat of incarceration because i do not have health insurance!?!?!?! That's incredibly wrong, dumb, anti - american, anti - liberal and just sours the whole effort. No to mandates - and no to a fiscally insolvent government program! But yes to health care reform. ! Yes to solvent non - profit solutions. ! Yes to choice!
- I am sorry, but where did you see those comparisons?
- Because it is what it is. People would drive around without insurance if there was not a law and I'd be paying for their wrecks some way or another. Same thing happens with people who use hospitals and do not ever pay the bill, nor ever get their own health insurance. The people who cry marxist should actually be happy about this since we will be finally making people pay for more of their own health care
- This mandate is nothing but a tax on breathing air so illegals and lazy welfare scum can get more freebies than they already get. It is very much the opposite of what this country is supposed to be about. Democrats are fascists who want total and complete control over our lives. Liberals are the enemy of America
