"they just don't want to pay for their own insurance but want others to"
I've heard it from just about every ACA supporter here at some time or another.

Perfectly Republican attitude dripping with scorn for those Cadillac drivin' welfare queens who freeload off the hard working Americans blah blah...driving up my health insurance premiums blah blah blah...
They sound just like Rush Limbaugh when they talk like that. I can practically hear his third and fourth chins wagging indignantly as they inveigh against "freeloaders" INSTEAD OF AGAINST THE INSURANCE CARTEL WHO WILL BE STUFFED WITH TAXPAYER SUPPLIED SUBSIDIES AND A CAPTIVE CLIENTELE BY THIS GRANT OF MONOPOLY.

It never occurs to them apparently that under ACA they would STILL have to pay for such people ANYWAY under the Medicaid expansion and the ballooning subsidies that will needed to keep people in the system who simply can't afford to keep up with escalating demands of the Insurance Mafia.
