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.

Government imposed healthcare is a BAD idea.

Until we get rid of ALL of the crooks and liars in the Party leadership (of both R and D), we're infinitely better off in not letting them spend a dollar.

It isn't limited to the Democrats, however. The Republicans are no better-- and are often worse-- in coming up with schemes to help out their corporate buddies.
