For those comparing mandated private car insurance with mandated private health insurance..

[Fumesucker]

Mandated private car insurance does not pay for your car or your injuries, it is *liability* insurance which pays for the person you hit, their car and their injuries.

You need to find some other analogy that actually fits the situation, mandated private car insurance is nothing like mandated private health insurance.

1. The car insurance comparison is

just dumb. You don't need to own a car, many people don't. Can't go park a sick body at the dealership.

3. It seems like I'm reading that analogy on every thread about mandated heatlh insurance..

I'm so tired of the false comparison I could bite a nail in two..

2. the cheerleaders for this travesty will seize any straw...

...or any straw man to make their point, I'm afraid.
