Obama wants you to prove to the government that you have health car, but not that you're a citizen

A good point, made by a Freeper.

Obama called Arizona’s new illegal immigration legislation “misguided” and suggested that it may violate civil rights laws. Yet, per the health care bill Obama signed into law, we all will have to report to the government via our tax returns what health coverage we have.

So rounding up illegal immigrants, who are here in contradiction with our laws, is anathema to Obama and not the appropriate function of government. But forcing citizens to report the status of their health care coverage is appropriate, and a fitting role for government.

I think someone has their priorities backward. How about the federal government allow us to worry about our health insurance coverage while they focus on doing their jobs with regard to illegal immigration?

Well, we all know why Bo opposes Arizona's new legislation, he needs them to keep his job in 2012.... though that legislation basically states they want the laws already in force to be enforced, which indicates it is actually every ones civil rights are being violated because they are not enforced. I support Arizona’s decision to do this. Indeed it got BO’s attention ...hahahahaha!..Shook him up too!

As for reporting if or not one has insurance....this is all about determining how much they can anticipate will be going into the gov. coffers.....numbers game. Certainly not about us...we're just the cash cow.
