Employers that don't provide health insurance have to pay a 2k fine. Individuals who are self-employed are required to self-insure, or pay a fine (which covers their insurance cost). What you call tyranny, the CATO Institute (the right wing think tank that actually CAME UP with this policy idea) calls "individual responsibility." When you hire someone, you ask them on the app if they can do the job "with or without reasonable accomodations." No one is asking for anything unreasonable - indeed, the laws are written so as to OUTLAW anyone requesting something unrerasonable. If you have a fellow with a bad back and he wants to bring his own chair to work, that's reasonable. It does not disrupt the work environment. Personally, I WANT to live in a society where we accomodate our fellows. I get that you don't. We can vote it out. When we're done, you can whine. Oh, wait. We HAVE voted it out, we ARE done, and you ARE whining. Please, continue. It has ALWAYS been. The wannabe Galts are all about snickering at gimps. What I want people to realize, is that with these laws in place, whether it's the ADA or Civil Rights Act or Affirmative Action, the government is taking a certain segment of the population and declaring them inferior deserving of head-patting and belly-rubbing. Cause you know, they're special. If they say they can do anything an able-bodied person can do, then prove it. That's all I ask. Demanding special accomodations = Inferior.
