ORIGINAL: kdsub Yes but you don't have to drive a car if you don't want to...but don't get me wrong I voted against pro C but I understand why people voted for it. I think they are short sighted but reality reins in Missouri and somebody had better take notice and adjust their goals or the healthcare plan will all be gone come 2012. Butch So someone who doesn`t drive,who doesn`t take those risks or get`s into crashes can avoid the cost of insurance. How can you guarantee that a citizen won`t "crash"ie. incur hospital bills that ultimately you tax-payers absorb if they`re broke? I don`t think it`s possible for someone to claim they won`t get sick,the way a non-driver can claim they won`t crash. I think a better analogy, would be a driver claiming they don`t need insurance because they aren`t ever going to get into an accident. Life just doesn`t work that way.It`s not a matter of if but when a driver is involved in an accident. It`s the same with health.It`s not an if thing.It`s a when thing.And when one becomes ill,IMO,they should pay something and not leave to tax-payers to pick up. In essence,what anti-reform folks want is to give out free healthcare.
