@billcolrus but "you" don't take the risk; if you become hospitalized & can't pay, everyone else foots the bill.
@billcolrus you are taking the risk with house money. So, like car ins., you are required to insure yourself to protect others from loss
@billcolrus yes; it makes it less expensive
@JasonStoddard when you define rule of law, rights, entitlement, & welfare (in context), I'll consider it :)
@JasonStoddard so, the empires that survived are the ones that allowed their vulnerable members to suffer w/o help from the state?
@billcolrus State laws can't be unconstitutional? Also, how is the distinction that you insure loss to others rather than yourself germane?
@JasonStoddard parts of it; the healthcare legislation section I missed, tho :)
@JasonStoddard How is the first part of that tweet logically connected to the second part?
@billcolrus in all seriousness: how so? Is it similarly unconstitutional to require automobile owners to have car insurance?
@JasonStoddard seems a bit arbitrary, to moi
@JasonStoddard How does it do that?
@billcolrus it's the part where they are allowed to enact laws
@JasonStoddard But, couldn't any number of other bills have demonstrated the same thing?
@JasonStoddard so, why was this the straw that broke the camel's back, exactly?
