If the taxpayer or insured's are kind enough to extend credit to him unsolicited, that is their own kindness/foolishness. The coldly bureaucratic arguments which suggest that people should be hauled off for insulting the thought police or daring not to purchase a product which is optional and wildly overpriced is just vacuous, hyperbolic, claptrap. All valid political beliefs for a German to hold, at any given point in history.
Not really. We do believe that such a vital (since when is healthcare considered optional?) product should not be overpriced in the first place. It may be true that the lender has a problem if the customer does not pay but that does not justify the actions of the customer at all. If you want a community where fooling others and not paying bills is perfectly acceptable then you may have to buy your own island, because clearly most people don't want that.
And who mentioned hauling people off? Are you making things up now?
