OK, let's stipulate that this trucker's health insurance is more important than my right to the money that I earned with my time and labor. Let's also recall that money is fungible.
Does this trucker, or any of his covered dependents:
--consume more calories than the RDA?
--use tobacco, alcohol, coffee, or other drugs?
--have expenses for a pet?
--have expenses for a hobby?
--have a TV, computer, or other non-essential computer electronics?
--have expenses for cable, internet etc?
--Do the live in a house that is bigger than they need?
--do they have a car that is bigger than they need?
--do they have other, non-subsistence expenses?
Are any of these expenses more important than my right to keep my own money?
