The US is finally moving into the 20th Century. An imperfect and cumbersome start to a better healthcare system, but it is certainly better than nothing.

Fining me 12 grand for not being able to afford insurance and then forcing me to pony up another several thousand for a gooberment run policy is not what I call imperfect. Its down right mean, stupid and irresponsible not to mention asinine !

This sets up a VERY bad precedent, IMHO, too. If the Gummint can COMPEL us to buy something-or even FORCE us to do something when we're not harming anyone else, why stop w/just this ?

aren't you already compelled to buy auto insurance?
Pay taxes?

My guess is that the healthcare companies have been looking for a handout after their little brother the pharmaceutical companies was handed a giant windfall by Bush.
Now they both are happy, what's the problem?

You have a choice of driving or not. Don't drive = don't buy insurance.
Taxes are a bit harder. Try the FairTax. You can cut way down.
Don't wanna buy the health insurance? Move out of the country or die. Not very attractive choices IMO.

Driving is not a hobby as this statement makes it sound.
