Having to pay flood insurance when you live in the middle of the desert is ridiculous

Having to pay for coverage of procedures you will never personally use is similar to being required to having flood insurance in a desert. It is absurd... and ironically it's the way federal flood insurance works. Tax money is used to pay for subsidized flood insurance for people who build their houses in areas that should probably not have flimsy houses built in them. See Hurricane Katrina.

Having to pay for health insurance when you're not immortal isn't ridiculous.

Before obamacare, If i thought that I was getting a raw deal from my insurance company, I could leave for one that suited my needs better. Now there are only a few options left on the table. Everything that doesn't fit in the government mold is effectively illegal.

If I don't smoke want to shave off a few dollars from my insurance bill. I should be able to join an insurance plan that excludes smokers. If I want an insurance plan that doesn't cover the costs of birth control (for men it doesn't exist in the first place) I should be allowed to join a plan that does not cover that stuff for anyone in the insurance pool.

And in a society that takes care of its own, it is downright humane.

Obamacare is horrible for men and people in general... unless you are on the receiving end of the free money taken from other people. Governments can't give anything to someone without first taking it from someone else. So before you can give your handout, you have to take it from somewhere else. Morally, you're only breaking even at best.

A lot of the extra cost comes from pregnancy and birth.

So let the people who want plans that cover pregnancy and birth get plans that cover pregnancy and birth... and let those that don't want it get plans that don't cover it. To do otherwise is simply another method of getting uninvolved and unrelated men to pay for women's poor decisions.

I don't know how much of it and there's no way we'll know much about it for a few years because there's millions of dollars being spent right now to spread misinformation and to vilify Obamacare.

There are millions of dollars spent to denounce obamacare, but there are billions put into advertising and propagandizing it, and tax dollars are being used to do it. There is no comparison. The only people who support it are the people who believe they will get a fat check taken out of someone else's account.
