Health Care Freeloaders Embrace the Health Care Freedom Act. Now they don't have to buy coverage.

At Biggovernment.com, the hot topic is a crazy thing called the Health Care Freedom Act.

Supposedly, 35 states are advancing this legislation that frees people from buying health care insurance. As they explain, "it would assure that citizens are protected from unconstitutional mandates to purchase insurance by allowing them to opt-out from any such federal program."

That's the problem with insurance now, and the reason premiums are rising from 39 to over 50 percent; Healthy people aren't buying coverage, leaving the insurers with sicker people, increasing their cost and premiums. The Health Care Freedom Act is a conservative freeloaders dream come true, a reason never to buy insurance, all under the guise of "freedom." Here are a few comments that followed this story:

Liberal comment:

Health Care Freedom Act? Who do you think foots the bill for your "freedom". Remember now, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Answer- the persons with health insurance and the government pay the bill when you get sick and do not have health insurance. I thought the "conservative" movement was all about individual responsiblity. What a bunch of B.S.

Conservative comment:

At least conservatives strive for individual responsibility, whereas the Liberal ideology is rooted in being social leeches across the board. Health costs are a problem but forcing free people to buy insurance isnt the answer and our lazy legislators need to work harder to find a solution instead of reverting to fascism. BS is what i say to giving up my freedom

Liberal Comment:

Buddy- your freedom ends when it affects my wallet and if you do not have insurance, you are affecting my wallet. I have a deal for you, care to accept? If you do not have insurance, then do not go to the hospital for any reason. So if you are in an accident and it is not your fault, you will simply be left there. Oh, I know you will sue the person responsible. So what? There is no guarantee they will have the financial resources to foot the bill. Good luck. You are living in Wonderland.

Conservative comment:

My point is there is hard work to do to find a solution and embracing fascism is not the answer. Your solutions are incomprehensible, aka LALA land. I know a good first step 1-tort reform, but our jerk off president and his jerk off party are in the pockets of the lawyers who have been driving medical costs thru the roof, have you been paying attention?

Liberal Comment:

Tort reform. Please. I am LMAO. Nebraska has had tort reform from the beginning. In Nebraska, punitive damages have been banned by our state constitution since statehood and medical malpractice awards have been capped for more than 20 years. My insurance rates still doubled in seven years. You are the one living in LALA land. Embracing fascism? So are you one of the ones who are milking the system and not being responsible for your health care? I bet I know the answer to that one.

Conservative comment:

You dont like tort reform, let me guess youre an attorney or your sig. other is. "i bet i know the answer to that" said in a mocking tone.

Liberal comment:

I see. So you can not pay for your insurance. Well then, your solution is to pass the buck to someone else. I will answer your whine with the standard conservative mantra, work two jobs, go back to school to get a better education, move to a smaller home. Every year the number of the businesses offering insurance decreases. Why? Who do you think picks up this tab. As far as my profession, it has nothing to do with the fact Nebraska has always banned punitive damages, enacted tort reform more than 25 years ago and my rates still went up right along with the same percentage increase as all the other states.
