People like you simply don't get it. This is a big deal. When you eliminate the choices people are allowed to make or not make you have eliminated freedom. If you want freedom you have to take the good with the bad and that means allowing people to make their own choices even if they may be bad ones.
Apparently you believe exactley what I said libs believe, that you know whats best for the rest of us and if we don't make the right choices you're gonna pass legislation requiring us to make the right choices. There is no 'out of context' here Edwards said plain as day that huis program will require preventative care.
I don't think it's a big deal at all. I also think you're intentionally misreading his proposal. There is no requirement that you have mandatory care UNLESS you intend to be part of the system. It's a fair demand. You want to be part of government health care, then you have to keep those health-care costs lower by going to the doctor for regular preventative care. You don't do it, you're not covered by the plan.
On the other hand, you can opt out, go to the doctor or not go to the doctor as you wish... and then it's your own problem.
I'm not quite sure what about that is so difficult to get one's head around.
