As an excuse to force me to buy health insurance? Let’s say I don’t have auto insurance. I drive my car and total it. Or somebody runs into me and totals my car. Now I want to have it fixed, so I go to State Farm, let’s say, and demand that they write me a policy and have my car fixed. Aside from being illogical, how long do you suppose State Farm would stay in business if everybody could do that? Any of you Obamacare supporters out there feel free to jump right in here.
Hey, don’t blame me if the analogy “completely falls apart”; it’s your analogy. For months you Libs have been coming on this site saying that everyone should have to buy health insurance because we all have to buy car insurance. You have been the ones comparing people to cars. I’m just trying to make a point about forcing insurance companies to cover people who only want to buy insurance after they get some expensive disease such as cancer, and how it will drive private insurance companies out of business. I was not comparing people to cars, I was comparing one idiotic premise to another just as idiotic. It never fails, as soon as anyone calls you on one of these positions of yours, and points out the fallacy, you immediately deny ever uttering such a horrible idea.
Why thank you, Dolphin, for not only getting my premise but for also adding a little culture to our evening.
Report about Auto Insurance information
Are you comparing people to cars?
This analogy completely falls apart. Not sure what parallels you are trying to make. You may want to go back and re-word that. As written I have no idea of what you are trying to say.
That’s not even a legitimate analogy. There are many people who have healthcare and get denied. And people who have healthcare and can’t afford their deductibles. And many who can’t buy insurance. You are yet another con who has an opinion on something you know nothing about. Your opinion means nothing if it isn’t educated.
I don’t compare auto insurance to health insurance because automobiles are not human beings. The current “health care” in the US is unsustainable. It is devouring ever larger chunks of the GDP, currently at 16 – 17%, but projected to zoom up to over 20% in short order. In the meantime, a huge swath of the population is uninsured, which only drives up costs for everyone else because hospitals by law must still treat those people so taxpayers are footing the bill. Furthermore, the purported “best health care in the world” is the worst health care in the world for the 47 million (and rising) who don’t have it. While the current bill is not the ideal solution, it is clear that the neocons are only interested in blocking every attempt at reform while simultaneously failing to provide any meaningful solution of their own – in other words, they have no interest in reforming the system, a fact that has been on display numerous times over the last several decades and which position is undoubtedly fortified by the millions that are pouring into their coffers from the health care industry. It is no coincidence that Joe “You Lie” Wilson has received hundreds of thousands from these people.

WOW. It would seem that your analogy comparing the “pre-existing condition” mandate to demanding an auto insurer to retroactively cover your car “after” the accident is totally over the heads of the respondents so far.
Mr. Magoo (how appropriate), managed to mention almost every misleading democratic talking point verbatim. He blasts conservatives for opposing this bill and other loony ideas from this Congress, but I’ll wager that he’s in full support of the democrats in the past that stood in the way of any number of Republican proposals.
