But that's how single payer systems basically work. It's illegal to not pay into the system because it's illegal to not pay your taxes.
No, single payer system means a legal guarentee of public health care.
What they did was make it a punishable offense to not have health care. That is very very different. They aren't giving a product that are forcing you to buy a product.
mroe than welcome to have a single pay and regulated private insurer, like canada maybe?
Registered car owners are already forced to have an expensive service (car insurance) in most (all?) states
to be fair car insurance should be required, because cars are potentially very dangerous, and the cost to infrastructure and people is very high if damage was incurred. also certain areas will have even higher rates than surrounding areas due to the demographics that are likely to cause accidents or collisions. thats why its important to invest in public transport more, like HSR, this will totally eliminate the need for cars in many areas.
And? That’s still not single payer care insurance.
Also owning & operating a vehicle is a privilege whereas living & receiving medical care, should be, a right.
Except it's not a single payer health system is it? It's just giving corporations even more money and therefore power.
