I have no problem with people coming to The Greatest Country on Earth to seek better lives for themselves ("legally" or not, ie by dealing with the ridiculous immigration bureaucracy put in place by Democrats), but I do have a problem with them coming here and committing crimes.
I just wanted to take the time to point out how reasonable this is and I feel like this is something that is just so common sense that both the left and the right shouldn't even have to debate it. But alas...
Anyway, if this is considered a tax, this has to be one of the most regressive taxes ever, right? I mean, the wealthy and even the moderately wealthy no doubt already have insurance and are thus exempt. The arguments here are huge, so admittedly I'm not done reading all of it yet.
Look, we dont have the broad-based political support for real reform one way or the other.
Ideally we'd be on single-payer with the burden placed on the wealthy instead of the poor, but its also about time that everyone have access to preventative healthcare to avoid the necessity of ridiculously expensive emergency treatments.
