Subject: RE: BS: So who's signed up for Obamacare?
Nobody, your objection to my analogy is disingenuous and downright nit-picky. The illustration is clear

"Are you trying to allude that merely being born is a liability to others??"

It should not be. But it CAN be. Think about it! Your parents are liable for you care until you reach maturity. Then YOU are liable. However, in those cases (say, a debilitating physical or mental handicap), a CIVILIZED society will endeavor to see to that person's care. If, however, you are mentally and physically capable, it is YOUR social responsibility to take whatever precautions are necessary to keep from being a burden on society.

INCLUDING (barring a tax-supported health care system) seeing that you have adequate health care insurance (but even there, you would be paying taxes, part of which go for the health care system).

And many health insurance companies do not offer adequate coverage. It is your responsibility to see that you go with an insurance company that does. You are free to choose your health insurance, as the ACA says. UNLESS that company's insurance offers inadequate coverage.

Crystal clear to me. And to any intelligent, thinking person.

P. S. Now we'll see what objection Nobody comes up with next!
