Exactly!
Which shows how much BS all the drivel from some righties is!

They tell us "I don't want to pay for my neighbors health care", while at the same time they join cooperatives (mutual companies) that do just that!

They only seem to have a problem when it is pointed out to them, because it defeats their entire foundation.....that each of us is an island.

States like Ky, Pa, VA, Ma, etc. - are Commonwealths. Hmmm....what does that mean?
" a state governed for the common good as opposed to an authoritarian state governed for the benefit of a given class of owners"

yep, another collective but this time it is state coercion.
