1. Neither is there any evidence to suggest that there isn't a parallel agenda. In fact, it sounds like the primary purpose is less to protect the high risk and more to reduce the strain on the healthcare system for the rest.
>> That's conjecture. Your logic states that in spite of what is stated, regardless of the lack of evidence to support your claim, or the overwhelming evidence to rebuke your claim, you have this entity to be dialed in as what your conjecture states. It cannot be any other thing until the evidence is in your favor. Then, the dialogue changes from denial to "HA! I was right, see?!" Put your conspiracies to rest. This is literal paranoia. "They're out to get me!" Do you have any proof? "No, they sent in their ninjas through the front lawn and they scrubbed my hard drive while I was at work." Oh. Makes sense. I'll grant you, this is hyperbole.
2. Neither does it state that it is not intended to be a mandate. What fool assumes an approaching lion has good intentions? By the time you find out, it's too late.
>> What fool looks at a Doctor and thinks they're serial killers? What fool thinks vaccines are how the government keeps track of you? What fool thinks the earth is flat? What fool thinks masks are a conspiracy to practice complacency? You're looking at this and yelling lion when it's a mere house-cat.
3. The Republicans in Congress could not agree on a healthcare alternative, or much of anything else. You speak of paranoia. Might the same not be said of your distrust of Trump? I have piles of evidence of what Trump has said and done to earn that distrust. Without question or subjection to interpretation. In spite of all that they "could not agree on." we still have never seen Trump's plan for healthcare. The only plan he ever did was a carbon copy of ACA. He scribbled out "ObamaCare." And wrote in red crayon "TrumpCare."
As a side note, it is amusing that you chose to use zombies as an example, given that your username can be translated to mean "brain-eater!"
>> Yes, I took some courses in Anatomy and Physiology and Biology. You learn the latin root words, prefixes and suffixes of various parts of the human body, the maladies that are associated with them. Like Hepat/o means liver. -itis is "inflammation of." So Hepatitis literally means "Inflammation of the Liver."
