You're breaking my heart.

Ten years ago, I got hit by a car and broke both my legs. The driver had no insurance, and it caused me and my family a whole lot of trouble because of it. My family health insurance, but we still had to pay extra because this idiot had none.

He was breaking the law, and I got a hassle because of it.

I repeat: If we can be required by law to buy auto insurance, why not health insurance? There should be no reason why people who do buy health insurance should have to pay the price because of uninsured people who don't.

Heck, here's an idea for a health plan that I'm sure the GOP would agree to: Make it optional. But if you chose to reject it, and you get sick or injured, you're on your own. That means that even if you crawl into the emergency room bleeding with both your legs broken, if you have no insurance, too bad.

That would solve a whole lot of problems.
