Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she would support repealing the Affordable Care Acts individual insurance mandate, giving a potential boost to the Republican effort to pass a massive tax cut package next week.
I believe that the federal government should not force anyone to buy something they do not wish to buy, in order to avoid being taxed, Murkowski wrote in an opinion piece published Tuesday by the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
Murkowski was careful, however, to stop short of saying she would vote for the Senate GOP tax plan. She instead focused the entire op-ed on her views about the Affordable Care Act

Absolutely yes. Gov’t should not be allowed to force people to buy a product for their own use. This is QUITE DIFFERENT than requiring liability insurance for auto drivers, because you can cause others to lose limb or property. Having no health insurance does not hurt anyone else.

All these damn women politicians use their feelings to justify anything they do. How about you just follow the constitution and respect the small role the federal government is supposed to have? The answer is that doesnt satisfy their feelings to help ppl.....with tax dollars of course. AND LEARN SOME MATH!
