A nationwide ‘draft resistance’ could defeat compulsory coverage
Let’s all burn our “Obamacare” cards.
Last week, the Obama administration was forced by industry pressure to delay the health care law’s employer mandate. It’s a sign the time is ripe for Americans to rise up and exert popular pressure to delay the law’s other major mandate: the one on them as individuals.
Starting six months from now, the individual mandate will take effect. Most Americans will be required to show proof of “acceptable” insurance coverage, as defined by Washington —in effect, a health care draft card.
Like compulsory military service, the health care draft will conscript private citizens to carry out a national goal dictated by Washington, and the burden will fall especially hard on young people.
Why a “draft”? Supposedly, it’s to help the uninsured, but this makes little sense. There are less coercive, less expensive ways to help the uninsured —for example, by reducing distorting subsidies and red tape.
With the new system’s top-down, centralized approach, there will be higher costs, longer wait times, and incentives for doctors and hospitals to scrimp on care. The “health care draft” is unjust, unnecessary and harmful to our health.

Yes indeed. The heavy pressure came from those well known Industry Pioneers like Nancy Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, Harry Reid and Valerie Jarrett.
I think it’s a great idea; a time-honored action that speaks volumes.
To whom, and in what form?
To the IRS? Will attaching a grainy photostat of some letter, written in German, purported to be from my insurance company, confirming that I am indeed insured, but sufficient?

Great idea! I’m in.
We need to create as much civil disobedience as legally possible, because our sorry RINOs will not Impeach Obama for violations of the US Constitution or Dereliction of Duty.
Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has no intention of allowing the US Congress to interfere with Obama’s selective implementation of the Anti-Trust violations of Obama’care.’
Obama will use HIS Bureaus, HIS Executive Orders, and HIS Military to “preserve, protect and defend” Obama’care’ in order to insure the complete financial destruction of The United States of America, by “Fundamentally changing the United States of America.”
Millions of fake applicants keeping the “navigators” tied up with endless rounds of stupid questions sounds like a dandy idea to me.
