Constitutionalist / Universalist
The individual mandates are really superficial.Health care though govt is good where taxpayers agree to fund it and on the terms and condtions.
It is bad when taxpayers lose right to representation,
civil liberties, and right to exercise and defend beliefs of their choice which is fundamental.
Citizen taxpayers have no right to representation, civil liberties, or right to exercise and defend beliefs of their choice which in any for profit corporate healthcare system either, so you must have some other objection. Could you get to that?
Dear Fenton Lum
We WERE not forced to buy from corporations BEFORE ACA.
The mandates REQUIRED citizens to buy insurance.
Do you get the difference?
The corporate insurance lobbies CUT DEALS With Obama to get BILLIONS
if not TRILLIONS in payouts as part of ACA.
So the ACA was to cover their behinds and costs.
and SCREW the taxpayers.
The corporations got paid. the taxpayers got charged and forced to pay that or fines.
Get it?
They are merely a tiny tax penalty.
The real benefit of ACA is the subsidies to the poor.
yiostheoy
well that "tiny tax penalty" that overrode and violate the BELIEFS
of HALF the nation cost Democrats not only the
Presidential Election but half the seats in Congress.
Not just a tiny issue!
I believe Democrats should be SUED to fix it.
And force Democrats to fulfill both prison reform
and health care reform promises to fix this funding issue.
Or it's FRAUD by misrepresenting the platform to the
donors and voters, and it's imposing Constitutionally and violating
beliefs and rights of citizens who DON'T BELIEVE AS YOU DO.
yiostheoy you have every right to YOUR potitical beliefs.
But you cannot abuse govt to IMPOSE OR ESTABLISH
your beliefs, much less PENALIZE taxpayers for not complying.
NOT ONE DIME: No matter how small, it is a major
violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
You might as well force prochoice people to be under prolife policies they DON'T BELIEVE IN, and force them to pay taxes, fines and funds to those prolife programs, while PENALIZING them for wanting to provide nonprofit services through Planned Parenthood.
If it's unconstitutional to push THAT through federal mandates,
the same is wrong with ACA mandates! yiostheoy
