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

[LadyForCamus]

Omg health insurance is NOT car insurance. Using car insurance is NOT going to help your case to me. 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.

But the problem is, if not enough people are paying into the system then ins. companies don't make a profit, and they either drop out or are forced to hike up premiums and deductibles, which is exactly what is happening.  The young, healthy college kids that Obama and co. thought would be purchasing insurance in face of a fine said, "fuck it, I'll take the yearly fine."   I'm not sure what the fix is for this problem though.
