There’s a Reason It’s Called “the Lost Cause” 2
But the South shall uprise again:
Pardon me. I fear my breakfast will uprise.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I think I read somewhere that Idaho’s doing it too. Maybe Colorado, not sure.
But…..
If we can be forced to have auto insurance, HO insurance, commercial insurance, then why not health insurance?

They are hanging their hat on auto insurance’s being a state mandate.
Homeowners is usually mandated by the mortgage agreement, and I bet the commercial insurance is also a state matter.
As someone I read somewhere pointed out, your insurance company is likely incorporated in Delaware with payment and call centers are in the Carolinas or South Dakota, and claims offices scattered about several states. In fact, there’s a big Cigna facility (Cigna, as in “Connecticut General”) office about five miles from here.
If that’s not interstate commerce subject to regulation under the Constitution, I don’t know what is.
It’s rightwing hooey which seems to be based on the theory that anything that might help the less fortunate is the end of the world.
