"…and what planet did you say you were from?"

I popped back onto TPM briefly today & commented on the Senate Finance Committee’s public government-option amendment vote:

Anyone else find it disgusting that the “public option” is the part considered controversial while the idea of forcing people to buy insurance who can’t afford it just gets glossed over?

Note that I didn’t let on that my main issue was the ignoring of the previous intervention that made health care so expensive in the first place.  Nope, just left that the proposal isn’t that much of a departure from the current system.  I got the following as the 1st response:

Not at all. We are “forced” to pay taxes that are used for the common good, wear helmets when riding a motorcycle, register and insure our cars, follow regulations limiting dumping toxic chemicals into the air, sea and land, pay into disability and social security, get a license before we practice in many professional fields and drive on the right side of the road. We are prevented from discriminating against others due to race, sex and age, build structures that are ADA-compliant and follow all manners of laws that may not directly benefit ourselves but improve the lives of everybody and assist in maintaining a functioning society. The only other options are chaos, or living as a hermit. Society requires structure, and no society has ever survived based on purely voluntary compliance.

Does anyone else imagine a bot tossing this out at the press of a button?
