"I shouldn't be paying for ANYTHING for anyone else unless I CHOOSE to contribute to charity." so everyone should have to opt in to roads and other infastructure, army, etc? Completely and totally unrealistic outlook that would more or less put us into a state of anarchy

1. You are exactly right. But The President promised that this would bring the cost of healthcare DOWN.
And fuck no we don't subsidize the rest of the world for pharmaceuticals. That's a line of b.s. put out to justify price-gouging us here in the U.S.
2. How does taking my money to pay for other people's doctor visits have anything to do with roads and the military? That's a weird analogy you're stretching for there.
Since most people don't pay taxes anyway...I'm already paying for other people to use the roads and also paying for the overbloated military.
Using the logic you are proposing then I should also pay for the food, clothing, going to the movies, etc. for everyone else from my own work?
Fuck that. I wasn't put on this Earth to be a goddamned slave. I'm here to live MY life and make the lives of my children and family better. Not to take care of strangers...unless I CHOOSE to through charitable acts.
Sorry man, no offense...but I don't go for that sitting around the campfire singing kumbaya nonsense. People should have to make their own way in this world. And overcharging my family to make an insurance company even richer while playing the "Helping the poor" card as an excuse, just doesn't cut it with me.
