[George M. Middius[_4_]]

The extremists are at it again. They're saying that requiring the uninsured
to pay a penalty is taxation. But only when the insurance in question is
health insurance. When it's motor vehicle insurance, why then the
****uplicans are all in favor of taxing the uninsured. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but I believe at least 40 states levy an "uninsured motorist fee".

At first glance, the difference seems related to (surprise!) money. When an
uninsured motorist damages you or your vehicle, you have to pay the bills
yourself. But when an uninsured patient gets sick, the hospital or the
government covers the cost. Thus are all hypocrisies resolved in
****uplican-world.
