Yes, that is what I said. They are playing games with us.
Individual health care insurance mandate has roots two decades long
The controversial individual mandate that was upheld Thursday by the U.S. Supreme Court stems back more than 20 years, believed to have originated with a prominent conservative think tank.
The mandate, requiring every American to purchase health insurance, appeared in a 1989 published proposal by Stuart M. Butler of the conservative Heritage Foundation called “Assuring Affordable Health Care for All Americans,” which included a provision to “mandate all households to obtain adequate insurance.”
Okay. Maybe you’re right and Jim and Heritage are really socialist-oriented. Certainly the information you posted is valid. So that leaves Conservatism...where? Where does your thinking lead?
Republicans wanted it to remain in private hands....the Democrat's advocated more government control to control prices....they said......lol
Anyway.....the argument is over....they won it...sorta.....
The health care mandate is still largely private, but the government will eventually put the private companies out of business, taking it over entirely at some point before the entire financial system collapses as a result of it's own weight. That too was predicted some 200 years ago based largely on the premise that democratic civilizations rarely last more than 2-3 centuries anyway.......before they are crushed by their own spending on social demands.
I’m with you. Jim DeMental and HF are NOT conservative enough. Conservatives don’t say Dingy Harry is their friend and a wonder guy when Dingy Harry is an enemy of this country and its freedoms, and a conservative organization doesn’t propose mandating health insurance as HF did.
