Message: <blockquote data-quote="SpartaChris" data-source="post: 358025" data-attributes="member: 1007">Roosevelt didn't oppose public unions, only collective bargaining for public unions. You can google it to find commentary supporting that point, and there's a copy of the letter he wrote stating his opinion that collective bargaining for public worker unions is a bad thing in this very thread. It's a law to have auto insurance because you can damage someone else's property or cause physical harm to another person. There is no law requiring homeowners insurance, but lenders require it so they can protect their own investments. I see your point about increasing the number of people who buy health insurance, but how would you enforce it? Doctors are required to treat you regardless of insurance status, so that's not an incentive. Would you fine people who go without? If so, how much? I'm open to the idea of making sure people have at least some kind of minimum coverage, but first I think you need to make it so plans can be purchased across state lines, and second, you need Tort reform. Once those measures are in effect, you'll see costs come down and the number of insured go up. Then you can start to implement a plan where people are required to buy it.</blockquote>
