1. I don't understand why it's okay for the state of Massachusetts to mandate health insurance on its denizens but the federal government can't.
2. I don't understand why the federal government can send you to a war thousands of miles away from home, especially when it really has nothing to do with national security and it was waged based on faulty evidence, but it can't mandate health insurance.
3. I don't understand why the federal government can mandate education but not health insurance.
4. I don't understand why the state of California can mandate car insurance for all drivers (virtually 100% of active working population) but the federal government can't mandate health insurance.
All this, of course, is on the assumption that the supreme court will vote Obama care unconstitutional, 5-4. (Ellito, Roberts, Clemens, Scalia, and Kennedy). I really don't like Obama care all that much, and frankly speaking, I am repulsed by the idea that the federal government is making you buy private health insurance. But isn't that what they're virtually doing already when the federal government builds freeways and buy fighter jets?
This is my idea of health care. There are two ideas, the first one being better.
1. Make it completely national, just like the education. All taxpayers must pay for their health care - it would be just like paying for education. If you don't like the insurance, you can get your own private insurance on top of the government insurance. It's like rich people (or Asians) paying for tutoring after school. This is how it works in Korea, and though it has its faults, it's much better than current American health care, and Obama care for that matter.
2. Make it completely private. It sucks but medicare and medicaid is unsustainable at this rate.
