So it is unconsitutional for government to force people to buy health care but it is consitutional to force people to pay a tax to support it. Is that what its telling us or am im missing something?
But why don't you do a system like they do here in England where each person pays a certain percentage of their tax towards the state's healthcare system, and then you can get healthcare for free. Tax would be proportional to annual income. Those earning under a certain amount could get free prescribed medicines, or the elderly, or those in education while others pay for prescribed meds at a reasonable price.

Why is socialism such a bad thing in America. ;w;

The difference is that everyone is paying, not just some. Right now it cost me about $400 a month for insurance on my own (no medical history or current). I used to have insurance thru my job last year and paid $30 a month. Why? Because there is many people under this plan whereas my individual is so high because it is just me.What scares me is the price tag of it on the American federal budget. Wouldn't this cost millions? What if it drives us further and further into debt?
I mean, I understand the idea of free health care for everyone is a great idea, but technically it isn't free. If we have to pay for insurance anyways, what's the point of being on a government plan through taxes? You're still paying for it. What's the difference besides where you get it from?
IDK if this is true, but wouldn't this eventually make other companies go bankrupt, thus forcing people to buy government healthcare because that's the only source of it left? Or am I getting it wrong? Where will health care companies stand, eventually? And if they go bankrupt, then wouldn't that lose more jobs? I'm not very well versed in economics, so could someone tell me?
IDK, this idea of government healthcare seems too good to be true.

Kuoping auto insurance is forced but we don't have people protesting that is is unconstitutional.

Because America is very individualistic.
It's irrelevant to health care but not irrelevant to when someone makes the argument that this reform is being forced. Auto insurance is forced and you don't see people largely protesting it. Most people drive cars, most people want to drive a car, a part of the 'american dream' is to be able to drive a car, most wealthy people drive cars, most people drive cars, the societal norm is to drive a car, people drive cars.Auto insurance is irrelevant to this. You only need auto insurance if you're going to drive because when you start to drive you're taking up a new responsiblity that can hurt other's fatally. You don't have to have a car. With forcing you to buy health insurance, there's no other option.
