That's not how things work here. You can't just make up rules.

the problem is, we have a large segment of the population that pays no taxes, gets free healthcare now, gets food stamps, money assistance, section 8 houseing.. so, how is taxing everyone going to make these people pay for insurance? they dont pay for anything now. they have little to no income to tax. and this will just give them incentive to work less.
I ran outside with my rife in my hand too. But that was because I was packing for the fire.

If they don't have it, and can't afford the hospital bills due to lack of income they eventually don't have to pay it... Not entirely sure how it works, probably messes up their credit from all the unpaid bills, but a hospital can't refuse to treat you just because you can't afford to pay for the treatment. [Mad]

I am extremely familiar with Colorado Medicaid...the budget buster! Although, I am most concerned by both my family benefit packages being taxed.
