I'd rather buy health insurance based on what it's worth, vs what my income is. I'm a selfish, evil, free enterprise loving American. If they want me to pay for others' healthcare, they simply need to tax me more. They tax me for other peoples' groceries, mortgages, disability payments, welfare checks, drug rehab, etc. What's different about health ins?

You are the poster boy of the extreme Right-Wing. Solipsistic, psychopathic and content. God help America should your numbers become the majority.

Well, your majority got us to where we're at presently. I'd think knowing that you'd have a smidgen of humility. Understood though, onward we battle for the future of a great nation.

Let's see, where are we now because of the actions of the (former) Democratic majority[?]:
 
The nation has been restored to robust economic health, with full employment, after the Republicans, led by their paladin, George the Worst, put the entire world in the economic toilet.
 
For the first time in our history, all Americans are guaranteed access to health care (except for those poor, unfortunate souls who suffer under the heel of Republican state legislatures [as in Texas].)
 
Alas, fiscally, we are burdened with a gigantic, ever-increasing national debt, incurred to salvage the nation from the Republican party's colossal mortgage fraud debacle - - - which Republican legislators refuse to retire. And, unfortunately, the latter situation is unlikely to change until we are bankrupt or until the Democrats regain the majority.
 
We can but hope that the nation survives this temporary hiatus in rationality, and returns the Democrats to power, so that succeeding generations of Americans may move forward into the broad, sunlit uplands of secure and fulfilling lives, and baleful Republican meanness is but a distasteful and embarrassing memory.

That's certainly one way to look at it.

As the saying goes, you are welcome to your own opinions but you can't make up your own facts.
 
We've covered this one before - unemployment is not 20%.

If you want to talk about the "real" unemployment rate, it probably is close to 20%. People who have given up and quit looking for a job, people who are working at lesser paying jobs, etc. We never get the real picture on anything political.
 
That's not even close to being true. You are speaking of the U-6 unemployment measurement, defined as "[t]otal unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force."* That number stands at 10.8%. (Under George the Worst it was close to 20% [17.1% to be exact.])**
 
However, the only official unemployment rate, the U-3 rate, defined as "[t]otal unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force." is currently 5.5%, considered full employment (and down from 10% under George W.)***
