And just a wake-up call: The people who are paying now, ARE paying for those who do not pay, many of which could pay, if they were obligated to, thus reducing the burden for EVERYONE.

These arguments don't make sense to me.
Paragraph 1: I did pay for them... via sales and state taxes. Even tourists pay for them.
Paragraph 2: The only reason we're paying the hike is because the government is mandating health insurance companies accept patients who cost the company money. Your end results is forcing people to do something they don't want to do because YOU think it's the right thing to do. If you're hell bent on paying for other peoples' health care then just go ahead and donate a portion of each paycheck to charities and organizations that offer health care and medical treatment to individuals who can't afford it...
