Right! I can buy minimum coverage auto insurance. But when I total my car, should the insurance be obligates to replace it for me? But people like Bemused think they should give everybody full coverage even if they don't pay for it. Insurance isn't a right.

In the old days, when you were allowed to buy something that you couldn't pay for at the time of purchase, you worked out a payment plan with the vendor. They call the payment reminders "invoices".

If I purchase basic health care, and something bad happens, I'm liable for whatever is not covered. Now they want to tell us how much we must pay. The truth is that it will never be enough, and will go up and up.

Cry me a river, insurance companies. This one is a money maker, as at least THREE major carriers finally figured out. Gawd forbid the government had to force them into figuring out a way to make more money.

Miss it? How? I said the popular parts of Obamacare were put in place immediately, while the Socialistic and catastrophic parts kick in after the election. But so what? This could have been separated easily from the juggernaut! It's probably the government that prevented such actions previously!
