Jail & Healthcare


Representative Dave camp is calling attention to the provision in the House Health Reform Bill that calls for up to a 5 year jail sentence and a $15,000 fine for those who refuse to buy insurance. When President
Obama was interviewed about this provision by ABC news, he didn't back away from the harsh penalty for non compliance but instead made a false comparison to mandatory auto insurance policies. He failed to mention that the key difference is that you don't have to buy auto ins. if you choose not to drive, while there are no opt outs in the health ins. bill.

For a government, that is supposed to represent the people, to tell its people "Buy what we tell you to buy or go to jail" seems totalitarian to say the least.
Go one step further and note that an illegal can walk in an ER & get treatment and walk away free but under this plan if an uninsured citizen does the same he could lose his freedom.
