The thing that perplexes me most about the healthcare law is how it forces citizens into selecting a product not necessarily everyone needs. Furthermore if I don't purchase said product I can be "fined" for not having it. I'd be more than happy to shell out a few extra dollars every year to make sure fellow citizens and the elderly can get their basic healthcare needs and checkups taken care of but I'm completely against paying for someones oxycotins from a bumper rub that happened a decade ago.
Universal healthcare should be funded by taxes and not by imposition of fines and should only cover basic needs. If you need more comprehensive coverage you should pay for that product.
It just seems unconstitutional to fine someone to be alive and well.
We live under a tyranny in which our government takes our income whether we agree to it or not, then re-distributes it to people who vote for people who promise to take our income away from us and call us evil scum who profit from the "poor" while doing it. The fine for not having health care is just one more tax, one of many. Additionally we have hidden taxes, such as the tax we pay for our cell phone usage, so that Obama can win votes by handing out free cell phones & plans to his loyal voters.
Is it Constitutional? Yes. Amendments were passed to the Constitution that make us Slaves of our Government. It's all legal like. All they have to do is have the states administer the programs and agree to take the federal money garnished using the taxing powers given to the federal government. The feds can take 100% of your income, 100% of all your assets, ... oh yeah and your life and liberty. All they need to do is show "due process." What is due process? Passing bills with a 51% majority and the president signing it.
Your vote matters. You elect socialist authoritarians like Obama that promise to destroy this country... well you get what you asked for.
