Understanding the ACA Arguments

[Nordquest, David A]

Professor Duncan wrote:  'I like the original analogy better as
demonstrating for my students how inactivity ("I don't want to buy
health insurance") is treated as activity ("but someday in the near or
far future you will go to an emergency room, so we will treat that as
present activity") under Obamacare. I know: X is Y for the purposes of
Z. The analogy demonstrates that move in a manner the students can
grasp.'

This shows further how pro-ACA arguments tend toward monism.  All acts
and non-acts together form one market and, as Professor Duncan suggests,
acts or non-acts at any time count for all times.  Everything is one!
