Ernie,
For the past 18 years I have paid all of my medical bills, including the hospital bills out of my own accounts. I have not nor never will cost any of you hard working tax payers a dime for my medical expenses.
I think health insurance for people is great if they want it and if they don't then the tax payers should not have to pay for their medical treatments. Many who don't have it can't afford it even if he makes it mandatory. There are people here that barely make it now and they wouldn't even be able to pay that $3,800 dollar fine. This area is not as you knew it when we were younger. It is border line poverty now and will most likely get worse as more people leave the state to find work. The schools are crying because enrollment is down so much from people who have left the state looking for work. They have raised the taxes so much and often the last couple of years that some people are now leaving because they can't pay them.
