Gee, hyperbole much?

If you don’t pay your income taxes, the government will garnish your wages, take money from your savings account, whatever. But you WILL pay your income taxes. And, depending on your actions, you very well may go to prison. That is force.

Don’t buy health insurance? The government will not take your money and pay it to an insurance company and force you to have insurance. Yes, Obamacare fines you for not having insurance. But it in no way forces health insurance on you.

No where have I said that I agree with what the administration has done. No where do I say that people should be forced to buy health insurance.

Just curious - do you have health insurance? If you have children, did you have health insurance for them when they were growing up? When you (or your wife) had your children, did you pay the bills directly, for did you have health insurance to help with the cost?

You did say people should be forced to buy health insurance.

That is the whole point of Obamacare. It forces people to buy health insurance.

Health insurance isn’t bad. Health insurance is a good idea.

NOBODY is arguing about that.

It is that the government SHOULD NOT FORCE ANYONE TO BUY SOMETHING.

What if the government decided that having a water filter was needed for your house and if you didn’t buy one that met their standards they would fine you? Would you support that?

What about if the government decided that you needed to eat three servings of vegetables a day and if you didn’t they would fine you? Would you support that?

Health insurance rates are climbing through the roof because the government has said that everyone has to have it and the standards are set by the government.

You are either willfully ignorant or a shill trying to convince people that a government forcing people to buy a product is not the definition of tyranny.
