I went several years in the 90's without health insurance due to my crappy employment situation and being unable to afford it on my own. "Cobra? I'll take my chances, thank you." To think that with this plan I'd be fined would make lesser men foam at the mouth and scream for tea parties. <br /><br />Any idea if a similar situation occurred once states mandated that people had to have car insurance, specifically liability, if they wanted to register their car? And did insurance rates come down as more and more people became insured?DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-71668773160725524112009-09-17T07:07:36.514-05:002009-09-17T07:07:36.514-05:00"How likely is #6?"
Very likely. If we..."How likely is #6?"<br /><br />Very likely. If we don't get most people insured, we continue to pay for them anyway in higher taxes and health cost changed to the rest of us. It's not like we are goign to let someone's kid die becuase they don't have insurance.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-4074955816585161542009-09-16T20:35:19.325-05:002009-09-16T20:35:19.325-05:00How likely is #6?

I don't see that one being too popular with any crowd, except health insurance lobbyists of course.DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-3498646480406210452009-09-16T16:03:15.859-05:002009-09-16T16:03:15.859-05:00Yeah, Bob's got it.

I disagree with Dennis on many things, but I can't help but admire him. It is probably because he isn't full of shit, like most politicians, and isn't afraid of taking a stand. That whole thing about UFO's shows he isn't afriad of saying anything. He is a breath of fresh air.<br /><br />I think he is right, too.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.com
