I wonder how all the voters on the gold coast,single making 200k married 250k, will like Himes after being taxed almost 4 percent on unearned income.

They'll get over it. If you want a hardship story, read "The Grapes of Wrath".

Bad analogy.
It would be unpractical and expensive for each household to have their own firetruck, fire suits, and guaranteed ability to fight the fire if they're within the house.

It is NOT unpractical for each person to make his own healthcare arrangements.
