(8,994 posts)I don't invest in Goldman Sachs with my Social Security contributions. God knows SS would be bankrupt now if that were the case. Same with Medicare, until Part D came along. And I can't wait to see Part D go away. Counter-argument epic fail.
Single Payer wouldn't be purchasing a private corporation's product. It would be Government-run insurance. Again, your counter-argument epic failed.
As for the militia, the Government had the DRAFT back then. Which means that just for breathing, if you were a male you could be conscripted, and forced to buy a gun.
Allow me to close with this. I will fight to my dying breath against laws that force you to buy private corporation goods just because you are still breathing. After all the bullshit I've read today that has made it one of my top ten goals. The rest of the ACA is good, but mandatory purchase laws are an abomination. No corporation deserves to be GUARANTEED a profit.
