    Then why are my insurance premiums paying for other people’s illnesses? Why don’t I get to decide how and when my insurance pays out? It’s my insurance paid with my money. Also, who keeps building all these roads and bridges with my tax money? I shouldn’t be forced to pay for infrastructure I don’t use just because someone chose to live somewhere else!

      Insurance is a protection racket made to benefit a small cadre. They just managed to sneak it in to law and make the government require it. And you’re correct, you shouldn’t be forced to pay for something you’ll never use.

        So your plan is to let poor sick people die, the same plan as the insurance companies, interesting. And it’s safe to assume you only use roads that you personally build and maintain, right?
