Re: Now that our season is over... - 13 years ago
One other deep issue to consider in addition to the fundamental legitimacy of property rights is what about children? If the parents choose not to insure themselves or their family is it the child's fault? Should they suffer for it and fail to receive care? But children are just the property of their parent's until the age of 18 so we don't have to worry about them, right? I think dealinby mnagowski - Other Sports

(And the terrible drivers, of course, but that's really not so bad once you figure out the specific ways in which Boston drivers are retarded.) Well, at least we can agree on some things. I felt the highway driving in Boston was pretty awful, as well as through some of inner suburbs. Part of it has to do, I think, with the shorter acceleration lanes.

Kyle Rose mnagowski We can draw the line wherever we choose to as a society. This is a misconception. "Society" doesn't choose anything because society is not sentient. Individuals can choose for themselves, and the resulting aggregate of those choices is what produces society as we experience it. You are talking about substituting democracy for individual choice.

Robb mnagowski Don't forget that now that you're forcing perfectly healthy people to buy insurance, they'll start using health care services at a much greater rate themselves This doesn't make much sense to me.

Re: Now that our season is over... - 13 years ago
So where do you draw the line? We can draw the line wherever we choose to as a society. That's the beauty of our system of government. We can decide what we can afford and can't afford, what we think is valuable for us to invest in, and budget for it. In the 1930s we created a wildly successful and beloved anti-poverty program for the elderly, orphans, and the disabled that didn't happen toby mnagowski - Other Sports
Re: Now that our season is over... - 13 years ago
Kyle Rose mnagowskiI don't see how property rights are relevant to the health care talk at all. People are decrying the mandate and the tax, but mandatory taxation to provide public goods has been a part of this country for a long time. This was an issue settled 200 years ago. How is individual health a public good? Because when everybody around you has tuberculosis you have a problem? Becauseby mnagowski - Other Sports

For fuck's sake, if it will kill this thread, then Hitler, Hitler, Hitler. It wasn't a part of an argument, so I don't think it counts. I've focused on property rights because they are particularly relevant to this case. As a general rule I don't believe in positive rights (I don't recognize a right to health care, for instance) so that eliminates (from my POV) a lot of other rights/freedomby mnagowski - Other Sports

My wife works for a health insurance company here (nonprofit by the way as are many) in Vermont.

Re: Now that our season is over... - 14 years ago
Among other things the law says that the government has a right to force you to buy a commercial product that you may not want. This is a tremendous increase in government power and loss of freedom. Not really. You're not forced to buy the product. You can always just pay the tax. (And, if you don't make any income, you're not going to have to pay the tax, anyways.)
