Government mal-administration of mandatory car insurance purchase has left us with no protection from being harmed by the worst, most dangerous drivers, who refuse to pay for the required insurance. Please don't point out that it's not "mandatory" if you give up the right to drive. Government administration of mandatory health insurance payment by individuals is a new proposition. A whole new government bureaucracy will be needed to administer the extraction of cash from individuals, under complex formulas, instead of just funding the insurance through the tax code. People are accustomed to paying taxes according to whatever class they are in with respect to income size, property value, or item purchases, but I hope that 300 million citizens are not going to placed into a data base so government tax collectors can identify them and take payments from them individually. It's a nightmare in the making. Rodan. ..
