Ninety percent of respondents disagreed with the proposal to tax anyone not paying for health insurance. This is flagrant social engineering and a direct impediment to personal liberty.
The largest segment of individuals not buying life insurance is young and single. Forcing them into the healthcare premium system is essential not for their own good but to subsidize the premiums required to care for their aging parents and grandparents.
Eventually, this debate will end with some system of inclusion for the young and healthy or the claims of the elderly will become so great that rationing care will be the only alternative for fiscal viability. This is the condition of most social healthcare systems in Europe and Canada which are struggling to meet increasing costs that are fast depleting national treasuries.
