See, one of the lies which Alien queen drolls out is that her's is a universal healthcare plan when in fact it's nothing of the kind. u/nder her plan [Romeny's plan, really] I MUST pay the premiums on insurnace whether that insurer covers me or not, whether I can afford it or not. There's the argument that I'll be subsidized- the truth is the insurance industry in fact does, but under what standards? How poor is too poor to afford your own insurance? She doesn't say. What guarantee do I have my forced insurance will cover me when I need it for my survival? Hillary, again, has no answers.

If Hillary's plan got through congress with any similarity to what she intends it'll be a direct financial attack against me and millions of others who JUST CANNOT AFFORD to buy health insurance. Her claim that we don't because we think we're immortal is insulting, degrading and the most backhanded comment I've ever seen aimed in my general direction. I'd LOVE to be insured so hospitals don't charge me quadruple the going rate for saving lives.

My life is already a jungle. I can safely assume that ALL the So-So Security, Medicare and Medicade payments gleaned from my paycheck will never be there when I need them [especially not for retirement], and so those are effectively non-tax deductible donations. But now Hillary wants to leech more money from me on behalf of her clients, the insurance cartel.

The counter argument would be taxation for the military though....
Except the military provides a service that's clearly tangible. An insurance company which knows they can take my money and return absolutely no services whatsoever has no comparison to the military in any form.
