BREAKING: The Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate has passed a bill on a 23 to 17 vote making it illegal to require an individual to purchase health insurance, a direct challenge to the party's efforts in Washington to reform health care. More to come.
The whole health reform issue started off to fix the problem of those that WANT insurance but cannot get it and make it more affordable for those that WANT it but cannot afford it.
Fast forward and this has turned into a twisted nightmare.
Let's clarify the position. It's not that Americans don't want comprehensive coverage, what they don't want is a PUBLIC mandate to purchase PRIVATE insurance. Wiki: fascism.
I have no problem with a government mandate to buy into public insurance, but the idea that the government is going to yoke me to a private party is the stuff wars have been fought over. Down with the corporatocracy this country has become. I'll take the tax penalty any day of the week and twice on sunday.
ok Good. But I am sure we will see similar posts from lefties. Only they will be serious.
I'm sure you're right. The explanations will be interesting.
