Well of course. The Republicans don't think that every American should have healthcare. Hispanics (and most sensible people) find that a "scary" proposition.
No Lief, quit channeling Alan Grayson. We do believe every American should have healthcare - if they choose to have it. Some people can't afford it because the cost is to high and they will get higher (as they have been) once Obamacare is fully implemented. We do not believe that the government has a right to make an individual unwillingly enter a contract with a business. We also do not believe that it is not the government's right to pick and choose what procedures are covered, not covered or at which age its unseemly to have surgery done. We think its wrong to charge someone for not having insurance and we certainly don't want single payer.
It's not worth the cost to our individual liberties. I want to be left alone by them and millions of other Americans want this also. The longer this goes on the more divided we will become eventually rupturing into revolution (which I'm not advocating). Honestly, our country should separate half and half on amicable terms, you guys get half the states, we get the other half. We can have the government we want, you can have yours. Why should our unhappiness be linked to your happiness and vice-versa. The problm is that democrats would never allow republicans to separate into their own nation - they can't let go of the powerand control. Plus, who would fund their ever-expanding government.
So, the government taxing you to pay for someone else's medicare is fine. But, paying for your own health insurance or paying a penalty is worthy of revolution. I don't really get that. Whether it's a FICA tax or a health insurance premium, it's ultimately money out of your pocket to pay for other people's care. I think most people are more concerned about how much money they're left with each month. Whether it goes to medicare or United Health, it's money you don't see.
