as a general comment:

Why do those with knowledge as the questions?

How are you supposed to think for yourself if you do not understand how to arrive at the answer?

You have to be able to comprehend the situation, recognize invisible contracts - which was missed in this thread, and assess the best answer. If you cant think on your feet in a forum setting - forget it.

I personally used the self insurance in an encounter and the "officer" offered a citation for no insurance - 3 times - i countered with it is valid. it is private contract. no citation for no insurance was issued (about a 2000 $ fee).

Can you tell me more about your self insurance process. thanks. fB

That's perhaps their key statement: according to their records. They seem to be telling us they have some evidence -- or a presumption -- of petitioner being a "US citizen". Correcting the error in their records by providing evidence one is not a "US citizen" would perhaps yield different results; namely, a proper non-US citizen passport.

VERY GOOD or even a declaration of status, witnessed and recorded in a public venue, certified copies carried/issued. Properly rebut the presumptions, that's what it's all about!

There is a thread in Success Stories regarding self insurance.

Starting in 2014, virtually every legal resident of the U.S. and those who will be should face up to their civic responsibilities. "We're no longer going to subsidize the care of those who can afford to buy insurance but make a choice not to buy it."

Incorporating the effects of new federal legislation The Supreme Court upheld Obama's law as constitutional in a 5-4 decision this summer, finding that the insurance mandate and the tax penalty enforcing it fall within the power of Congress to impose taxes.

The penalty will be collected by the IRS, just like taxes.

The budget office said the penalty will raise $6.9 billion in 2016, Romney says insurance mandates should be up to each state. http://news.yahoo.com/tax-penalty-hi...194442599.html

Self insurance takes on a whole new meaning now doesn't it?

Self insurance is a must in this economy.
It has its risks, to be sure, but at least for risky professions it's highly recommended.

Insurance is a purchased indemnity. With insurance customers pay the company a fee (called a premium, deductible, etc.) in exchange for the insurance company agreeing to indemnify the customers for liabilities, costs or the like arising out of a motor vehicle or automobile incident. In other words they are PROMISE TO PAY the customer's liabilities or costs when incurred. As long as everyone drives safely and accidents are avoided, the insurance company gets to keep the money paid in. However, there can be additional expenses to pay for claims adjusters (or in the case of medical insurance: care managers or nurse managers).

It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure out (or does it) the parallels between hazard bonds, surety bonds, bail bonds and the like and insurance. Also, in any case the insurance company is making a promise to pay in some unknown or known sum in money.

Does the blue passport recognize A "U.S. National" as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1408?

Those that hold public office are "citizens". It is one thing to be a citizen of the United States or a U.S. citizen and an entirely different thing to be citizen of one of the several states of America.

Yet it is still considered poppycock to try arguing such things.

Yet it is still considered poppycock to try arguing such things.

It may have to do with when a given state was chartered. For example, some constitutions required being 'citizen of the United States' for holding certain offices. Yet still, citizenship is distinct from nationality.
