Your problem is that you believe your health care should be subsidized

street who steals from people walking along the sidewalk.

I thought we were talking health care insurance. You know, spreading the
risk around to prevent any one person having a financial catastrophe. If
you have insurance, and your house burns down, are you also a thug
stealing from people on the sidewalk?

If you do not have a mortgage on your home are you compelled to have
insurance on your home?

If you own your automobile outright are you compelled to have
comprehensive insurance?

If you can afford to pay for your medical needs on a pay as you go basis
why should you be required to buy insurance?

Whatever happened to my body my choice?

It's no longer convenient. It was a bumper sticker, that's all. They
never really meant it for everybody, it was pointed toward one
particular voter block.
