Why's it so difficult for some to accept Obama was a good president

You don't HAVE to have car insurance if you decide to not have a car. By buying a car you agree to have insurance. Health insurance you can't say no to. You can't say hey this isn't for me so I'm not going to use it. My husband had to pay because he didn't have insurance for half the year last year and that is bullshit.

And the whole it is making others pay for your shit is a bad reasoning in my book because that happens with a LOT of stuff, no reason to force people to have things that they don't want. You don't want electricity? Don't use it and you don't have to pay for it. Don't want a car/insurance/gas? Don't use it or pay for it. Have a house in the boonies with no electric or water and outright own the land, grow your own food, etc, then do it. No one should be forced to pay for something they don't want. Why is it any different with health care? Because the cost gets put on others? Not good enough for me to think the government gets any say in the matter. Again let me reiterate I DO think people should have insurance, I just don't think it is government mandated.

Your belief is not required for what I've said to be true.
I spent 30 years in the insurance industry and the logic and reasoning behind the necessity of mandatory insurance is the same in both auto and health insurance.

Many people believe that the reason every first world nation on earth (other than the USA) has universally mandated health insurance is for moral reasons alone. That is untrue. A very large factor is the cost. 
Do you think that the US having, by far, the most expensive health care in the world is an accident? It's not. It's a function of the system. Foolish ideologues have insisted that the markets would solve all problems and they continue to insist on this even as the US health system continues it's spiraling costs. Reality doesn't care about your feelings. Control the costs or they will bankrupt you.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
