The fact that the Germans (and other Europeans) can’t fathom the argument against mandatory purchase of coverage is clear indication that they do not ‘get’ America at all.
The invocation of multiple socialist concepts throughout this article certainly represents the European view, today. The American expat cafe owner fits right in with the Euro-Socialist view (Solidarity? Where have we heard that before?) and should stay right there and peddle her goods.

For us, the notion that the government should be so deeply entwined in our daily lives conflicts with the very founding principles on which this great nation was built.

Get the damn government out of the way, and the nation will heal itself...healthcare included.

The argument in our Supreme Court isn't for or against mandatory purchase of coverage, it's whether the Federal gov't is the constitutional authority to mandate it.
