‘Even if Obama’s health
care reform bill becomes law, mandating that all Americans buy health
insurance policies for a failed system of “sick care”, I will refuse to
comply. I’ve read the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights, and
nowhere in that document do I find that the federal government has the
power to force consumers to purchase for-profit insurance products from
private companies.
The very basis of the
health care reform bill is, at its core, unconstitutional. If this
mandate is allowed to stand, it sets a dangerous precedent for the U.S.
government to require us to purchase other products and services from
whatever industries it chooses to support. What’s next? Will the
government pass a law forcing us to buy pharmaceuticals at thousands of
dollars a year? Will it force us to purchase U.S.-made automobiles in
order to boost the automobile industry? Is our economic free choice now
centrally planned by our own government operating like Communist China?’
