These things are very difficult to read!

It looks like the problem here is that the Fed still forces an individual to join something or participate in something, even if that itself violates the conscience of an individual.

It is still a control mechanism, and is violative of our liberties. It is still unconstitutional to the MAX!

What about an individual who is in his 50s and has never had a health insurance policy because of personal “religous” conscience.

This is still the Fed determining for an indiividual what “conscience” is acceptaablle to the government and what is not.
