They believe that everyone could go without a car which is total b.s.. Public transportation is either non existent or incapable to handle everyone. If it was there would not be rush hour traffic. This "you're not required to have a car" is total crap. The majority of people need cars to work, make money to buy food to sustain their bodies so they can be forced to buy insurance, both auto and health. This forced health insurance was to help insurance companies to force young people which normally have no claims to help pay the medical costs of insurance that make claims. Employment has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. The destruction of unions, the loss of jobs overseas and across the borders has created a employment atmosphere that either provides no or very crappy health insurance. The insurance companies now are facing the baby boomers who are needing more and more medical care and not enough premiums coming in to cover it. Sound familiar? This is what they have been saying about Social Security. The mandated health is only to help the private insurance companies not you. If you believe your rates will drop lol I have a bridge to sell you. What is needed is for us to insure ourselves, across the board for all types of insurances. Large corporations are already doing just that because of the greatly reduced cost. Why aren't we?
