Insurance companies and organized crime have alot in common.
I never endorsed the integrity of either of the above. Human nature dictates that aside from specific reasons for not doing so (i.e., religious convictions) people will take advantage of others when given the opportunity. Assuming the worst about insurance providers, we are moving from being overcharged for what we are receiving to giving the government dictatorial powers over our lives so long as they are enforced through punitive taxation rather than fines, penalties, or imprisonment. I really don't think a false reprieve in health care is worth giving up our freedom. That ruling is very open-ended. Under it, we can be subjected to punitive taxation with no limit even addressed for any damned thing the government wants to impose on us. I don't know how to make this any plainer. The Supreme Court just ended our possession of rights--the only catch is that they cannot be ended outright, but we can be taxed on them to the point we cannot afford to exercise them. You have to look past the immediate circumstances into the implications. I am not surprised that the typical leftist would buy into this cheering for it as he goes along, but I would expect better of anyone found here.
