And suppose everyone here has it, or nobody here has it, or some of us
have it and some of us don't, what of it? I'm sorry, but your poll has
no relevance to the point in question.

My question does have relevence, without regard to
"mandated-whether-I-want-it-or-not."

Do you have health insurance?

Do you want health insurance?

IF you want health insurance, but DO NOT have it, why?

If you DO NOT want health insurance, why?

Health is probably more germane to the general population than having a
Unisaw. If the government were mandating the purchase of that item, I
would agree with you. And let's disregard the entire SawStop issue, as
that IS irrelevent to this question.

BTW, in my state, at least, you have to provide proof of financial
responsibilty (i.e., insurance) before you can license a car. If you're
driving without insurance, you'd better damn well pray you don't hit a
BMW driven by a lawyer.

Here's another tip for you: Don't bet against the house.
