Obama's insurance requirement not the only mandate - Yahoo! News
I love how a tax (that only working people pay) is trying to be equated to a country wide mandate. It gets even worse when they compare mandates on hospitals and insurance companies to individuals.
Pathetic.
The individual insurance requirement that the Supreme Court is reviewing isn't the first federal mandate involving health care.
There's a Medicare payroll tax on workers and employers, for example, and a requirement that hospitals provide free emergency services to indigents. Health care is full of government dictates, some arguably more intrusive than President Barack Obama's overhaul law.
