driving on public property is legally recognized as a privilege, not a right. driving on your own private property is legally recognized as a right. You need a license and insurance in most states to drive on public property. You need neither to drive on your own private property. Legally, living is recognized as a right, not a privilege.

they also wouldn't be ohkay with an inflationary fiat monetary policy that ensures that the poor will be poorer and more at risk of personal bankruptcies.

if you don't like illegal immigrants, then don't patronize companies who employ them. Free market trumps the law every single time, and as long as the market wants cheap labor it doesn't matter what the law tries to do to stop it, there is going to be cheap labor.

who is compiling the stats? stats compiled by different agencies using different definitions are worthless. Why do you think Japan has a homicide rate that's less then a 1/10 of anyone else's?

.... that's why the authors of 2nd amendment both advocated an armed populace to protect against abuses of government.... they advocated for that, because they wanted the government to have a monopoly on force, of coarse.

Shouldn't it be if you agree to stop forcing hospitals to provide treatment to people who can not pay, we'll all be fine? A person with no insurance is not obligated to ask for no help, but if helping places an undue burden upon you you'd think you'd have the good sense to not give it.

"Also, insurance covers this thing called "preventative care". It's one of the most effective ways to reduce your odds of getting severely sick. Since your plan is to avoid paying for insurance until you need it, I assume you won't want to erode those savings by getting the preventative care that the insurance would otherwise be covering for you. You might want to consider that while you might pay something like $20 to see your doctor, that isn't what you'll pay to see him if you're uninsured."

Why would an insurance company cover preventive care? Preventive care is a foreseeable cost that can be easily budgeted for....
