"do you just support laws that attempt save money by creating restrictions on dangerous activities that don't effect YOU?"
Why didn't you just say "Yes"?

"That's the price for the government going into the healthcare business"
I refuse to accept your assertion that totalitarian government intervention in every aspect of our lives is the price we have to pay for a reasonable health care system.

"And if MY taxes have to pay for the results of YOUR dangerous activity, the it effects ME. "
You sound just like a tea bagger. If it costs YOU money, it must be opposed.

I support Universal Single Payer. Selfish people are one of the biggest obstacles in it's implementation.
