"I chose not to pay it, because, paying a fine to NOT have a service is against the most basic logic plus all the ideology involved".
THAT...Was the strongest arguement I have heard so far when it comes to healthcare. B-R-A-V-O.
-side note.... I think universal healthcare for everyone would be a good thing, but not now. We simply arent that advanced in medical technology where we can simply give it away to everyone for free yet. In my opinion, until the medical industry advances its practices, cancers are cured at the cost of nothing, and medical equipment and drugs is at the point where it can almost cure anything;we will be foolish to put this healthcare for everyone into effect. WHO is anyone to say what you, or the next guy, or the person next to them, should be doing to help someone else out? If people want to help other people out, thats fine, but forcing people to do things they do not want to do was against the law the last time I checked, and not only that, but it is also just plain out WRONG.
