Yes, i get the difference ... the new one is a regulation and tax on simply being alive, while the other is for the privilege of driving.

But make no mistake, driving has become central and irrevocably entangled with my, and millions of others', prosperous american lifestyles. And i don't balk that the government makes me do it.

If this is what it takes to improve healthcare significantly in this country, it will hardly seem more of a sacrifice of freedom to me than a driver's license or hand gun license.
