No one is forced to drive, but we are forced to buy health insurance?

In the past nobody was forced to pay the fire department to put out the flames on their house, I wonder how we even survive in this horrible totalitarian world where everybody must pay money for fire departments

Even if you do have a car, you’d only have to purchase cheap casualty insurance should you injure another party, covering yourself and your own car is optional. Health insurance $500/month vs. $80/month car insurance. Yup, insurance companies had a big day as the bill they wrote and funded has passed, their stocks had closed highest in history last Friday anticipating this historic victory day for THEM (not the fools who are stuck paying them).

There will be 17,000 new IRS agents (if the bill says 16,500 you KNOW it’s going to be at least triple that, more like 60K new IRS agents). It will be their new job to make sure everyone purchases their own health insurance 365 days of the year, they need to show proof of payment and coverage when they file their taxes (and if they don’t file have to mail it in to the IRS). Things sound oh so good now, but if you have a slow month and have to choose between your rent, bills or health insurance, and are forced to choose health insurance to avoid the $2250 penalty, even if you can’t afford it for 1 month, are you going to start stressing, feeling like your right to purchase and spend your money as you please has been stripped away because insurance companies paid $60 billion and WROTE a bill to benefit them? And if you don’t pay the fine you get your wages garnished, bank accounts frozen (which the bill says the government will have access to without a court order on everyone’s accounts) or else serve 3 months in jail).

Americans are exposed to seven times more radiation from diagnostic scans than they were in 1980. Experts are saying that doctors are overusing the tests for profit and raising health risks for patients.

The findings add to already mounting evidence that doctors are ordering too many diagnostic tests, driving up the cost of health care in the United States and potentially harming patients.

Diagnostic scans can give doctors valuable information, but some doctors fear too much radiation exposure may cause cancer, especially in younger people.

However, imaging technology has created a financial incentive for some doctors to cash in — by referring patients to get imaging tests on equipment in their own practices.
