Len Nichols, a health economist who teaches at Virginia's George Mason University, says without a requirement for coverage, Congress might have to find another way to make the consequences of not having insurance even more dramatic.

For example, he says, perhaps if people don't buy insurance when it is first available, "if you ever try to buy insurance again, you'll have to pay three times the market price, and we will put a gold sticker on your forehead and say to all hospitals, 'You do not have to treat this person; this person has forfeited their right to uncompensated care.' "

Explain the Socialism part of National Socialism again....

[Owl558]

It’s not about care. It’s about control.

“gold sticker on your forehead”

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier just to sew that sticker on your clothes?

Seems to me it was a gov’t mandated clothing line mandated a few decades ago.

[PLD]

I think these morons can try to make Americans wear a gold star but they had better be ready for consequences..No American I know would stand by and let this happen..I for one would not..

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Free health care sure is expensive.

[all the best]

When he says gold stars he actually means yellow stars like the Nazis made Jews wear.

[BerniesFriend]

I’m speechless..really..speechless..

[MizSterious]

Chilling. Holocaust redux.

[Larry - Moe and Curly]

Why don’t they just tattoo the star on your forehead - or left forearm?

[SaxxonWoods]

Obviously this person is not a history buff. The irony is amazing.

[Eye of Unk]

Reminds me of some scenes from the TV series, “Winds of War”

The Jews who were hauled off in cattle cars to the death camps.

[Gaffer]

And American Liberal Jews will comply. Their personal rationalization will be “ Well, we at least don’t have to get out a needle and some threads and sew them on our jackets.....we just have to lick the stars and paste them on our foreheads!”

[johncocktoasten]

Yes, gold star for nobamacare. Next, serial numbers tattooed into the hands of republican/conservative voters, so we can be put in the correct Involuntary Retraining Facility.

[RexBeach]

I am presuming that Mr. Nichols has tenure...or is dumb as a box of hair.

[Cicero]

Will the JDL have anything to say about this? I doubt it. Poison from the left doesn’t count.

[bmwcyle]

What do the waivers wear?

[all the best]

Yep, that’s the one.

[proudpapa]

Instead of wearing a gold star...perhaps we could just fly the American flag in front of our homes.

[Gaffer]

I wonder what the talk and climate of the early thirties in Germany sounded like.....was it anything like this? Socialist apparatchiks mouthing all sorts of racist and oppressive plaints and "we need to's".

The most dangerous animal on this planet is a socialist liberal that starts their spew with "We should....."....
