People equating health insurance to car insurance are hedging dangerously close |

...to that old Rushism, "Health insurance is a privilege, and not a right."
My own issues with the vote aside:
My husband and I told our daughter, when she took her driver's training, that it was a privilege to be able to drive. We told her we would insure her for that privilege and cover the cost.
While I understand that some are really happy, and some are not, this is an apples and oranges statement and a dangerous analogy.

I demolish such an argument here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=433&topic_id=218894&mesg_id=224668And I even failed to mention "no fault" claims, you know, when the car insurance company refuses to pay a claim because, well hell, accidents happen.
