Bill, I and everyone in my company are "forced to" buy insurance that provides maternity benefits and coverage for substance abuse treatment. As I am "forced to" pay for the cost of public education though I do not have any children. And I don't mind because other people are "forced to" pay for insurance that covers cancer care, a benefit that I have used and they never will.

I also don't mind because things like maternity care, education for all, and treatment for people with substance abuse problems, cost taxpayers MUCH less in the long run than the costs of care for infants born with lifelong birth defects, people chronically unemployed due to no job skills, and years in jail for a substance abuser. You are spouting a party line that just makes no SENSE when it is examined at all closely. It's a short t4emr view that benefits just one grop of people-stockholders in insurance companies.
