The REAL Problem With Nationalized "Healthcare"

(alternate title: Quote of the Weekend)

When somebody had the unmitigated GALL to question Queen Pelosi as to where in the Constitution she reads the Congress making us buy health insurance, she said

"Are you serious? Are you serious?"

And moved on to the next question. Thanks.

Yes, he was serious. When the specter of Hillarycare loomed large on the horizon in 1994, the Congressional Budget Office made a keen point:

“The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States. An individual mandate would have two features that, in combination, would make it unique. First, it would impose a duty on individuals as members of society. Second, it would require people to purchase a specific service that would be heavily regulated by the federal government.”

What's wrong with that, VFD?

Get off my Internet! If you don't understand that it is evil to require people to buy something (especially something expensive) in order to be a lawful citizen of the country you are pretty dum. This type of thing is an ANTI-AMERICAN, anti-liberty power grab of epic proportion.

You do know, do you not, that certain of your Elected Heroes have gone on record to state that, as long as you got enough "benefits" from the government, it would be fine to take 100% of your earnings from you at gunpoint. That would be, enough benefits according to some petty tyrant bureaucrat in D.C.

If you think it's outrageous to propose taking 100% of your earnings from you and give you whatever they like back, why is it less-bad to take the 50% they currently take from you? Why is it OK to take from you without your permission at all? When is it okay to take from you without your permission (at gunpoint)?

Is it okay if you are 24 years old, healthy as a horse, and don't need health care, for them to take 1/4 of your salary to pay for health care payment insurance?

If you haven't recently, and especially if you are represented by Democrats, call your Congressman and Senators and tell them NO to any systematic overhaul of healthcare in America.
