Comprehensive Car Insurance to be Required by Law!!!

by Brian Willis

That’s right.  Comprehensive (not just liability) car insurance to be required by Law!!!

 Okay.. not really.  But that would be the necessary comparison for the President to justify requiring people to buy health insurance as in the following article (not to mention as in the Pelosi bill).

 As I think we all know (except maybe for those too privileged to ever really have to worry about such things) car insurance is only required as far as minimum liability is concerned.

That is, we have a legal obligation to make sure others we may hurt are covered but we are free to take our chances with our own lives and our own cars.

But, the healthcare bill requires that we insure ourselves and not just others we might accidentally hurt.  The President’s car insurance analogy is flawed and we should not accept it as evidence of precedent for requiring coverage and penalizing people who don’t get insured.

Meanwhile, I have to wonder… is the real problem with our healthcare system that “wealthy” people are opting out of health insurance and getting care at emergency rooms or free clinics?  Or, is the truth of the matter that they need to force more people to pay into the system (whether they need it or not) to subsidize the system?
