<<it is employment based.>> Even self employed must pay. If the Government can require self employed individuals to purchase retirement insurance and/or disability insurance for themselves, why not medical insurance for themselves?

No it's not! The wife of an employed person is covered even though she may not have worked a day in her life.

Everyone has insurance now because by law hospitals can not turn people away. Do you think it is right that people should escape paying just because they have sloppy morals?
