And like all of you, I pay for the fire and police protection.
I really don't know what the fix could be, but this Govt. mandated stuff or we will fine you isn't it. That will certainly help people who can't afford to pay anything, by taking away what little they have. If you and the rest are happy with this, then why not give those of us who want nothing to do with it the option of not taking it?

Ron,
I have no argument with your premise, no one should be forced to buy into something they either don't want or can't afford, what we need is a safety net for those who wish to not buy in for whatever reason, and get what is now a way too expensive a system off our backs, I understand what you are saying, you are paying for yourself and not taking help from the tax payers, but there are some things, such as healthcare that if we do not get a handle on the price now, there will be no hope of ever getting the debt under control. I know the way it looks now, how could they ever get it under control, a lot of the banks have re-paid their loans, but the 2 wars and the cost of starting up Homeland security and many other things were never put on the budget, as it is now, along with the stimulus package it all looks overwhelming, and whether you agree or disagree the tarp and stimulus were necessary, the only way to possibly get a handle on it, is to get to spiraling cost of healthcare under control, what we have now will never do that, it will only get worse! So we either do nothing as the Republican party would like, but remember they have an agenda, they want this administration to fail, no matter what the cost to our nation.
