so you are in fact paying insurance fees then? i thought you said you were paying $0.00

about the car insurance, i think you're correct, but your point is moot. you do in fact HAVE to pay for insurance for something that the government, it could be argued, should stay out of.

For health insurance. I don't have, nor do I need, health insurance. In a year I will have it, because the alternative is to pay a fine which is exactly as expensive as health insurance and get nothing in return.

The alternative is a privatized highway system and I'm not holding my breath for that, though I'm sure they would be much better maintained.

i see. thought the law was already in place.

there already is a privated highway system, of sorts. it's called the toll-road system.

tolls are collected by the state and state laws on using the roads still apply. On a private road you don't even need a driver's license.

Some portions of it are, but the individual mandate doesn't drop until 2013. Hopefully we will have elected Romney, gotten it repealed, and impeached Romney by then.

romney will never get the necessary votes to repeal it

and he probably wont win the election anyways

depends on what congress looks like under his administration. also, I think he has a solid chance. lots of liberals are disenfranchised with obama, and a lot of moderates are really upset about obamacare. it's going to be a close one.

romney might have been able to win if he had campaigned as more of a moderate republican like when he was gov of MA

instead he went full on right wing crazy and anti gay trying to rile up the "base" but the republican base is not being replenished as quickly as the old farts are dying off because of their ridiculous social conservatism

either way the guy has zero integrity and would do anything to get a vote. It irritates me that McCain took the same approach as Romney in 08 even though he has traditionally been more moderate and has voted against his party many times. At least McCain is a man with some guts and integrity, if he had campaigned as a moderate I may have voted for him (he still would have lost to the Obama hype machine though). I don't think I could ever vote for Romney after seeing how much he has flipped all of his supposed values from his time as governor of Massachusetts and his refusal to release his tax information, Bain capital scandal, etc. I just don't think he has any sense of ethics.

it is but the mandate doesnt take effect until 2014 or whatever
