what's the difference...
between the word "illegal" and "unlawful" (saw this on a school bus this morning - "unlawful to pass while lights are flashing")
between saying "free" and "no cost" (we always try to say we offer "free" health insurance but the state makes us change it to say "no cost").
Re: what's the difference...
I am not sure about illegal and unlawful.
But the difference between "free" and "no cost" I think I understand. In your case, the insurance is still paid somehow, but it is no cost to those who enroll. The cost is transferred to somewhere/one else. It is like in Craig's home town, their bus system says free to rider. But the town was up in arms when they wanted to put free bus on the side, because the tax payers were paying for the bus system so it wasn't technically free.
Semantics
Un and il both have a meaning of "not" so not lawful, not legal.
Some places describe unlawful as "not authorized by law" and illegal as "forbidden by law"
So unlawful would be acts like passing a school bus with flashing lights or jay-walking - things that probably won't get prosecuted, whereas illegal ARE acts which would get prosecuted.
Around here, that is a big deal (or at least is was when I was a kid); you could find yourself in a lot of trouble with a court date easily. I guess that's a state thing?
