The fact at least 1 in 4 cars is being driven illegally and not even a token effort is made to stop it is pitiful. If it wasn't costing everyone else money I wouldn't care. Funny, my motorcycle costs more than my car, the coverage is more comprehensive, I use it 90% of the time and it's 4 times cheaper than my SUV. |

From the link you cited: "Financial responsibility (commonly known as insurance)..." |

What Are the Types of Financial Responsibility? Motor vehicle liability insurance policy. Cash deposit of $35,000 with DMV. DMV-issued self-insurance certificate. Surety bond for $35,000 from a company licensed to do business in California. |
Quote:
Those things you mentioned (bond, cash deposit) are insurance. Because those things you mentioned are insurance against damages/injury that a motorist might cause. I never said an insurance policy is required of all motorists, I said proof of insurance is required. A motorist would have to prove one of the things you cited from the DMV website, all of which are insurance. |

If you have assets you would be foolish to insure at auto liability state mandated minimums unless you want to chance having to live in a cardboard box after the lawyers and courts get done with you ...
What the fuck do Obamacare or auto insurance costs have to do with net neutrally escapes me. |
Quote:
insurance is a form of financial responsibility, not vice versa. proof of financial responsibility is required, not proof of insurance. |
Quote:
The point is never said any motorist was forced to purchase auto insurance. I said all motorist must prove they have insurance. And the CA DMV defines insurance to be insurance policies as well as surety bonds and deposits. |
Quote:
So when CA DMV defines "financial responsibility" as insurance that includes surety bonds and deposits, those two things are not really insurance? LOL ok if you say so. |

The hospital then gets paid back by the state using your tax dollars and mine. The "fiscally responsible" thing to do is force everyone to buy health insurance because in the long run it's cheaper than paying for all the people whom use the emergency room as their free doctor's visit. |

You do not have to drive a car and you do not have to purchase liability insurance if you use any of the methods mentioned above. Health insurance is now mandatory or I am fined/taxed for not having it. I have lived for 25+ years without needing health insurance, why should I be forced to buy something I refuse to use? Sorry if it is too deep for you to comprehend the difference. |

You should welcome Obamacare because in the long run it will save the state money.. |

But you keep claiming that. So I used this new fangled thing called "google" and typed in "does govt. pay for unpaid hospital bills" Nope. Couldn't find one thing that said the govt. would ever pay a big hospital corporation for any losses. |

Here is an excerpt of an article of 2011 : Quote:
Meanwhile, back to net neutrality , why are republicans against what the majority of the public wants ? They always say that they want the gov out off people business .... ???? |
directfiesta, nobody has to pay for it. At least not the govt.
If that were true, then these giant corporations that own the hospitals wouldn't always be making record profits. Here in the U.S. they price gouge. Then that allows the insurance company to claim that they were presented with a certain amount for the bill. Then there are no real "negotiations". There is a "real" price that is hidden from the consumer. And that's what the insurance company pays out to the hospital. And then the insurance company uses the fake price-gouged price to raise your premiums on you. No, they don't "negotiate" millions and millions of hospital bills. The hospital DOES have real pricing. They just don't show it to consumers. If anything, an argument could be made that the high prices that hospitals charge are caused by non-insured people skipping on their bills. But IF that were true (which it isn't...as I said RECORD profits for these giant hospital corporations), then we should all be seeing the price of procedures in hospitals go WAY DOWN thanks to Obamacare. Guess what? They haven't. So that excuse is not valid either (though I already knew that). Anyway, no...the govt. doesn't "bailout" the hospital industry every day. Matter of fact, I'm unaware that the hospital corporations have ever needed govt. money. They are rolling in money...just like the insurance companies are. As for net neutrality. I first heard of it and said "Yeah, this is what's needed". Then I saw a discussion from adult industry leaders on Xbiz saying that "NO" it was not what it seemed. And now it seems that since Republicans have come out against it...it's the "good" thing to have this bill pass (just because Republicans don't want it) The politicians and the media seem to be real good at taking what should be simple...and make it a confusing issue. |

Your first link says nothing about govt. paying anything.
And your second link to a google search also doesn't show that govt. pays hospitals anything. |
