The government mandates it and I must do it simply because they say so. Are you in favor of eliminating all government mandates having to do with health care?
And i must buy insurance that covers motorcycle riders, who WILL eventually have an accident, although I don't ride a motorcycle, and insurance that covers heart issues, even though I don't want to pay for someone else stuffing their faces with twinkies and ho ho's. I don't plan to have a vasectomy but I'm pretty sure insurance covers that too. Welcome to the real world Alan. Each of us has to pay for a lot of things we may not believe in, or plan to personally use, but that's just life in a modern, progressive country. And until you can think of a way to pick and choose all your health care coverage, including all the things that will happen in the future, for you and your wife, then we have to work with what we have. And, oh by the way, no one is asking for FREE birth control pills, GYN or anything. These people pay for insurance, as in coverage.

Ok, you apparently work for an insurance company, or own an insurance company, or invest in one, or maybe your wife does..I get it. Otherwise you wouldn't go so often, consistently to the mat for insurance companies. People of America...bad, insurance companies..good. And I suppose you can justify in your own mind the whole "government is bad, except of course when it's forcing my beliefs'.

Yea, we pretty much see where you are coming from. Not a whole lot of nuance there.
