There are ways to avoid car insurance as well. If you don't qualify, the law says you gotta buy a car insurance policy. If you can show you have enough cash to cover typical insurance limits, you can get an exemption. In the case of SSI, if you can prove you have an alternative that works, same thing. The argument that the government cannot force you to buy insurance is simply a canard. The only thing the government has to show is that it serves the general welfare.

What the hell does that have to do with anything. The purpose of the law is to protect property owners like me from being taxed to death to pay the bills for dead beats down at the county hospital and crooked typically Republican employers who don't want to buy health insurance policies for their illegal aliens they have hired. The source doesn't matter, what matters is the public good it achieves. Why should I be paying the health insurance costs for Pilgrim's Prides army of over 100,000 wetbacks?

You can own a car without buying insurance.



Next.

In Texas, you can't get plates without insurance, so I suggest you try driving that car you own that is not insured with no license plates, and let me know how it works out. I know a good bail bondsman who can help you.

I think what Kagan really should do is push herself away from the buffet table at the Supreme Court lunch room.

Annual plate tags in AZ are contingent upon proof of insurance. Technically, you CAN own a car without insurance. Nobody will take your car if you don't insure it, but they'll make your life miserable if you persist in driving it without insurance. That's as it should be, too. It's funny that nobody thinks being coerced into having car insurance is a constitutional issue.

You have the facts but fail the analogy.

Think about it.

You have your life and and live it without government permission. You may own a car without gov permission. If you choose to drive on gov roads you must buy insurance (or equivalent bond in some states). If your life is equal to car ownership then it is reasonable that the government require you to buy insurance to gad about.

If you accept that you are equivalent to a car then you accept the concept of human ownership -- you own a car, why not own a human being? Thus, human slavery is justified and the owner is the State.
