verify our identities in order to get a voter registration card, a PO Box, a driver's liicense, or a passport?
I simply don't need, and don't want, to use credit of any kind. I have always paid as I go, and this has proven to be a very prudent decision.
My financial history is immaculate. I don't owe anybody anything, and pay any financial obligations I have, such as auto insurance payments, as per my word, in a timely manner. If I wanted a credit card, I have no doubt banks would be very pleased to give me a substantial credit line; they kept offering me them over and over for years, and my banks and credit union offer me them periodically, sometimes very adamantly.
The fact that I am required to, but cannot, get my identity verified for a government initiated program, by a private corporation that has a clear profit interest in knowing my personal information and financial history, is worrisome, and I take this a continuation of the disturbing trend toward privatization of government services and the as another indication of the merger of corporation and state.
Credit cards? I don't need no stinking credit cards!
That said, I believe that the ACA will help many people, including myself, and I have no problem with the SSA or Department of State verifying my identity. But I feel that it is a serious violation of it is a violation of my autonomy as a sovereign citizen to require me to seek and gain the approval of a wealthy private interest in order to participate in a government initiated insurance program.
Now, I am going down to check my mail, and see if any information regarding my eligibility has arrived, and I am hoping that they were able to verify my identity without the approval of bloodsucking corporate leeches who I thoroughly despise, and who I do not wish to have anything to do with my life in any way, shape, or form.
