No, Medicaid should be eliminated.

Moralist Arguments are Moralist.

Statist Arguments are Statist.

Libertarian hates both.

Right Country, wrong people running it - read the Constitution lately?

Federalist Papers?

This is simple shit.

So how about diverting that compensation directly to the employee, and they can then use that compensation to buy the insurance they want?

Oh, but that would require less mandates and less free shit that Someone Else Has To Pay For™

Oh, yes, I'm the moron because I advocate for ALL people as Individuals, and not just selective Victim Categories that are cause célèbre and I don't use ridiculous shit like argumentum ad populum?

Get bent.

No it's not, and it ought to be - so why not fix THAT instead of not only Feeding the Beast, but giving it OmegaSteroids™?

Taxation. Inherently Amoral. Equivalent to Theft by Force.

Sick of Repeating Self to Fuckwits.

Also: Taxed measures are voted upon, therefore, taxpayers have opinions.

But the system used is Democracy, and Democracy sucks because it's inherently vulnerable to moralism, populism, and fuckwits.

At least one person here recognizes this.

Thanks for actually being logical.

Not my problem. Any solution you would propose to that would require inherent coercion.

* I try not to, they suck. Private Toll Roads are 10x better.

*I would never send my offspring to one of those brainwashing shit factories if my very life depended on it.

*I buy my books.

*Would love to - heard of SeaSteading?

No, those things would all exist, you'd just have to actually pay for them.

And those mandates are just as inherently amoral and stupid.

More mandates are not a solution.

We can't get to London by going to the South Pole, even if the plane's faster.

I don't need one, thanks!

But it shouldn't be covered by your tax money, either.

Taxation is inherently amoral. It's theft. That's why you hate
when your money goes to things you hate or disagree with - it's the same principle.

Logic!

I don't care if you are or are not a slut. Really don't.

I'm a Libertarian for fuck's sake - does your decision directly affect me?

Right now it does, because you want my money and you want to force me into the same risk pools.

But the decision itself I might have an opinion on, but don't really care.

It's the only option because the only reason Health Insurance exists as it is today is because of YET MORE MANDATES - WWII wage freezes.

The Government then extended a tax break to Employers who provided it and that's why it stuck around after the war.

If you offered individuals the same discount, it's suddenly sixes as…

You shouldn't.

Taxation is inherently amoral.

But you won't know how to respond to that one without making:

Copypasta:

That's actually my point - decouple it.

So, I'm just gonna copypasta now because fuckwits can't read.

Nope. And that's actually my point - decouple it.

Health Insurance is not a right, it's a product.

You have a right to spend your money to buy the product that suits your needs.

But then people had to go write laws that MANDATE shit, and when you MANDATE, you take away people's agency but still demand their money.

People tend to get pissed about that.
