Yea...not a good thing. Actually pisses me off when you get in a wreck with someone that doesn't have insurance and it's their fault. Don't want to buy car insurance? Don't drive. Personally I don't see why you would want to not have car insurance, with all of the wrecks out there that "aren't your fault" why would you even risk not driving without insurance?
Okay yea that was off topic, but if it's really needed we can make a thread about insurance as well and split the posts.
I'm saying the government shouldn't force us to pay a third party. Especially for something most people need. It prevents trusts and it gives everyone an option that can be applied in any states so there's no geological locations with certain offers that others won't have. (That will also help prevent minorities from getting the short end of the stick.)

Im no fan of politics. its politics that made this mess, and its politics that make it worse.
all i know about this is, is a communist move (social ita, same freakin thing). soon theyll be saying we will be payed the same. tell me that isnt Communism. tell my russia isnt still in a massive depression because of it.
i say we remove EVERYONE in office. and start over. we know who the crooks, thieves, bastards, liars, and otherwise harmful people are. we run background checks and no shady inside character will "let something slip" like obama being a legal citizen, which is crap.
have we not learned? have we not seen our mistakes?
im gonna go back to The first pres, George Washington. what did he say political parties would do? tear the nation apart. that happened once. he was right. we didnt learn
and look at the hate brought up because of PARTIES. im not saying that i love ALL republicans or that i side with them more because they are republicans. i side with them cuz they are one of 2 NOTICED parties and have SOME views i like more. im not saying i HATE ALL democrats (democrats are for DEMOCRACY, right? cuz they have yet to show it), in fact, FDR was my favorite president. he pulled us outta the depression and had some very moving speeches. most presidents that sucked, however, were democrats. Bill clinton and obama being the recent. have we learned from our mistakes? no.
we havent learned from our mistakes, and im sure we arent going to learn from this one.
please correct me, CIVILLY. im sure that there are things i dont understand, but im speaking my mind here
This is so full of fail that it's unreadable.
Democrats are not for democracy. Replublicans are not for republics.
If you side yourself on either the Democratic side or Republican side, then you're retarded. Make up your own views instead of following a group. It's called 'group think' and that factually makes a group less productive. McCain and Obama both had many, many of the same views, anyways.
And the government, even if they required everyone to get this health care which won't happen, is not going to fix our income. It's impossible.

Also, I know what you mean by it's a privilage to drive but why should we be forced to buy something from a third party? That's like the government forcing us to buy a meal from McDonald's a week.
I think that the government should be required to offer government-run car insurance, too.
@Que: Are you sure that's how it works?
Involvement in wars actually boosts our economy. WW1 and WW2 helped us tremendously. Il go as far as saying we would be in a much much much worse now if those wars didnt happen. Now though, theres nothing we can do when you see "Made in China" everywhere.
Further, this war is keeping millions employed. Where do you think all the soldiers are gonna work when they get home when we cant even support the people already here.
I understand where you're coming from because it actually does pump a lot of that money into our economy. But think of it this way, for every dollar that isn't going towards the military, it could be going to civilians that are in America for things like highway construction or education. Yes, that same dollar would be spent and would still go into our economy's free-flowing money system. It would still create jobs whether or not we are paying to kill someone or paying to fix our highways.
If that's all we were doing, then great! But, the major difference between this war and the ones in the past is that we actually are paying money for resources that we won't be receiving! We're paying to fix things that in the past, the enemy would usually be responsible for but since our enemy is not a government, civilians aren't getting the help they need! We're fixing the problems we caused, unlike in the past. So, we are loosing possible GPD revenue!
I'm all for helping out others, but when it's a major restoration of things that we destroy and problems we cause that is preventable, then I will not support it.

What about people who have to drive for their jobs? They use their income for food so to some, it is just as important as the food itself. This can be applied to some who have a huge commute or actually use their cars within their jobs like pizza deliverers.
