Heritage was wrong. It’s mandatory. You must get it, or you pay a penalty. So much for liberty.

You must get what, exactly? You must purchase health insurance from a private health insurance company. Just like you must purchase auto insurance. Do you call mandatory auto insurance "universal auto care" and complain that it is a huge loss of "liberty?"

Exactly. And most of the time you get auto insurance requirements not for YOU, but for the OTHER GUY.

When it comes to health care, I AM THE OTHER GUY.

What id you don’t want health insurance? You’re penalized until you buy it. By whom? the government.

Do you really not see the difference between auto and health insurance?

Why should the government be able to force you to buy anything?

How much power does our government have to compel us to act?
