3. The talking point against the mandate always related to "healthy people" being required to buy in.

There are NO healthy people! There are some people who are healthy at that moment. That could change with a serious accident or sudden diagnosis. Then, all of a sudden, they're not healthy.

If it were described as people who don't CURRENTLY have any medical problems, it would at least be accurate and would open to them mind to the awareness that they are only CURRENTLY healthy and that situation could change quickly.
