the Car Insurance argument is stupid , cmon guys.

Ok, first of all you have a right to choose to NOT purchase car insurance, just dont buy a car. You can go through your entire life without ever having car insurance if you dont buy a car. Period. Have you ever owned Plane insurance? Boat insurance? House insurance? Unless you own those things you arent required to have insurance for them.

Requiring people to have health insurance is forcing them to pay for something they have no way of refusing. You are ''taxing" them for simple being "alive".

The problem is that while you can choose NOT to own a car, you cant choose NOT to get cancer, or not break your leg playing basketball, or whatever.

The Individual Mandate is bad for everyone, its going to bring care quality standards down and drive premiums UP. Then, we will get to a point where Private insurance will disappear and we will go to Single Payer, at that point your taxes will be so high to pay for medical care it wont matter.

Healthcare is a SERVICE BUSINESS, thats what the democrats cant get through their head. The way to lower premiums is expand coverage, and make the premium holders into consumers by making hospitals compete for care. Why pay $10,000 for an MRI when you can pay $500? Health Savings accounts, catastrophic coverage, etc are all ways to solve the problem.

But Obama doesnt want to solve the problem, he wants Single Payer. this is a step toward that.
