RealClearPolitics - Obamacare in Retreat

Quote:
There will be only one way to make this work: Impose an individual mandate. Force the 18 million Americans between 18 and 34 who (often quite rationally) forgo health insurance to buy it. This will create a huge new pool of customers who rarely get sick but will be paying premiums every month. And those premiums will subsidize nirvana health insurance for older folks.

I have read most of this bill and the wording is unsetteling. They say that it isnt mandatory but it wil become that way. Two dems even said yesterday that the only way for this to work is through a single payer system aka "socialism" dont these guys know that england and canada have this and they coem here to have procedures done. There is end of life topics, home vistitation for mothers of young children to help teach the the right way of raising a child, family planning- they don't like it when you have back to back kids, it is in the fam planing section. Check out another bill HR 3247 the social and behaviorial science modification bill, it says, To establish a social and behavioral sciences research programat the Department of Energy, and for other purposes. i am concerned over the other uses part, this is a door for the gov to walk into our lives and there are parts of the healthcare bill that if they think it needs to be madatory then they can do it. So with the help of the hr 3247 bill that would show Washington that we need more help in living our lives and they wil step in. We dont make the choices that they think that we should make.

Shucks, I'd rather be sick and go to the emergency room than pay premiums every month.

Except for the "rarely get sick" part, it's exactly what insured people have now -- only cheaper.
