Will Obamacare succeed where term limits failed?

[Kralizec]

Out of random curiosity...

Mandatory insurances have existed in the Neth's for a considerable time now in some form or another. There is a group of people here, which was never that big and is considerably diminished today, which is opposed to the very concept of insurance on religious grounds. I gather that their idea is that random misfortunes are not random at all, but the Will of God, and that it's blasphemy or at least hubris to try to avoid the consequenses.

Is this line of thought at all common in the US?

No. Those who believe in full and complete pre-ordination are quite rare.
