No, they don't. Please note the word individual.
Then, Republican (TN) Cong. Marsha Blackburn's rapid-fire and astute questioning of Sec. Sebelius yesterday was revealing.
Blackburn went straight to the heart of what should be the Republicans' primary goal in objecting to Obamacare in all its devious and misleading manifestations by using the Democrats' own "freedom to choose" mantra.
She did that by using the simple "red Solo cup" versus the crystal "stemware" illustration.
By focusing on the one-size-fits-all model being imposed for Americans, Blackburn also opened the canker sore that is masked under the talk of "improving health care" options to be that of the "minimum standard," or "inherent vice," of socialist dogma and the policies it demands.
That is what every Republican should be focusing on--the tyranny that is masking itself as benevolent caring.
Churchill said it well:
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." - Winston Churchill, House of Commons, October 22, 1945.
Or:
". . . there can be no doubt that Socialism is inseparably interwoven with Totalitarianism and the abject worship of the State. It is not alone that property, in all its forms, is struck at, but that liberty, in all its forms, is challenged by the fundamental conceptions of Socialism." - Winston Churchill, B.B.C radio address, June 4, 1945.
Churchill's words of the 1940's are being revealed to be as valid in 2013 as they were when he uttered them.
"Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy." - Winston Churchill, Perth, May 28, 1948.
Translation for today: Your liberty to choose your doctor, your plan, the features you wish your plan to cover and not to cover, are being denied under the "fundamental" change which is being imposed by imperfect men and women in positions of power in a government structure whose very Constitution denies them the right to such coercive power!
You cant miss this one ping!
Can I be grandfathered in?
They will lie to your face while looking you right in the eye.
Her answers in two sentences:
“Look Cong-roach, Barry, Harry, Nancy and I are going to jam this down the throat of a formerly free people, inch-by-[bleep]ing-inch, and there’s not a [bleep]ing thing you or Issa or Cruz or the whole [bleep]ing Tea Party are going to do about it. So, you go ahead and have your little hearings, and in an hour, when I get back to my office, I’m going to have a stiff drink, a good laugh and start jamming it back down the throat of every Omerikan.”
Sebelius obviously watched Schwarzenegger’s “Junior” once too often...
Democrat men often need burping and diaper change.
At the end, the lady in the audience laughs at Sebelius. Sebelius is not amused. We must continue to mock them; it seems that’s the only thing that bothers them.

I think it is a difficult situation. Sure a 26 year old man does not need insurance for babies. However, at 29, he may be married with a baby on the way and if he marries some lower economical type lady who does not have the ability to make a living, it is smart to have that insurance on his policy.
As with everyone else in this dictator’s administration, she has drunk the Kool Aid. They should all be impeached and jailed.
None dare call it treason
