In case Obama is seriously toying with the idea of requiring every American to have some form of health insurance ... he might wanna listen up. According to a poll commissioned by Consumer Watchdog, less than 15% of Americans support the idea of requiring every Americans to provide proof of private health insurance or face tax penalties or other fines. And 53% of voters were opposed to the idea altogether.
Here's something interesting to note ... Opposition is also strongest in the West (61% oppose; 16% favor), North Central states (54% oppose; 16% favor), the South (51% oppose; 13% favor) and in the Northeast (45% oppose; 18% favor).
But the Democrats are at the wheel .. so you can expect it. Now, how much is this going to cost? You can only begin to imagine.
There's also this little problem: Where in our Constitution does the Imperial Federal Government of the United States derive the power to force one single American citizen to BUY ANYTHING? Oh ... almost forgot. The Constitution really doesn't count any more. (more)

While it would be good for everyone to have health insurance it is not the governments place to force people to do anything, especially where money is involved.Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
The government can't handle SS or Medicare what makes you think it will be able to handle national health care any better.Government can fix everything!!

Just another one of Obie's failed policy's that fall's by the wayside in his quest to become just another idoit lair.How this pencil neck geek got to where he's at escapes all natural reason.I'm hoping that Illinois governor takes these charges all the way to the highest court so maybe we get a look at how sorted and corrupt Chicago politics really are..Is that Obie's house of cards I hear falling in the distance?Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
How are they going to enforce that one? You can't drive without insurance (which makes sense, but opened the door for GOUGING!!!). Now you can't live without insurance? I'm sure the insurance companies are eating this up! (Or maybe they are responsible...?) I can't wait to see what this does to the price of health insurance once we are all a "captive audience"! How many of you live in the areas hit by the hurricanes, and had to be subjected to the cheating by some of the insurance companies who now want higher deductibles for hurricane damages??? And they discourage any claims by threatening that your insurance will go up. They just want you to pay them, but they don't want to have to pay you. Wasn't that the whole purpose of insurance?Insurance = Legalized theft

Lmao the title reminded me of this song:If you voted for him, you planed to travel NOWHERE!

He's got bigger fish to fry.Government can fix everything!!
How dare does the government demand that we get heath-care. If I don't want to take care of myself and go to the doctor then so be it. lol That sounds so stupid. Who cares if the government forces you to get health-care. As long as they try and make the prices affordable then that's cool with me. At the same time, I don't think Obama plans to "force" people to get health-care. I've only heard him talking about making health-care more affordable for everyone.Undecided
You shouldn't make fun of that Handicapped man in the Picture....Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.

Doesn't matter! This was one of Obama's campaign promises. Do you expect him to keep it!Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
If the people don't revolt against our tyrannical government pretty soon they're going to find themselves in concentrations camps or worse!Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
fix the root cause of the high cost of health care....lawyers and illegalsGovernment imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
My health is too important to let the Federal Government make decisions that will affect it!Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
The govt's track record on trying to run social programs truly sucks. They're lousy at it and the cost is always astronomical when they get involved.Obama lied. Again.
Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
Another fact is that younger adults that can afford health insurance don't buy because only the other guys gets sick, not them. Also, approximately 25 percent of those individuals that qualify for government insurance don't bother to apply.Undecided
This is complete bullshit. What is your source? I read his plan and it does not mention imposing a fine on an uninsured citizen.Your man Bush can take the blame for sticking a dagger in the Constitution. repeal of Habeus Corpus, wiretapping citizens. He is despicable.
Yes, I know it is horrible to think that everyone might have access to healtchare...ooohhhh....evil !!! (sarcasm)

Read up. And government controlled health care is evil. Why don't you do some research before you go flapping your gums.
"The idea of mandatory coverage, which Obama resisted during the campaign, has been endorsed by America's Health Insurance Plans, the insurance lobby that fought and defeated the 1994 Clinton health reform plan."
Here is a quote from the second article:
"President-elect Obama opposed policies requiring all Americans to buy private health insurance coverage, the so-called "individual mandate," as a candidate."
So, why are you this making stuff up? Read the articles for yourself and learn something.
Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.
the feds are the problem
