I used these words…

"perhaps we should succumb and allow it to be mandatory that all citizens purchase health care "

Constitutionally, I think it would be a stretch for Congress to force the citizens to buy medical insurance, and I am not even sure I would be happy with it, even if all of the above conditions were met.

The main difference between the concept of car insurance and health insurance is, you only need to have car insurance when and if you own or drive a car; therefore, if you do not have a car, no one can mandate that you carry insurance. However, with our health, there is no telling when we will get sick, and to what degree we will need to be treated.

Another possibility would be through the government issuing vouchers, to which we could go buy a health care plan with…

I have been planning to write more of my thoughts on government vouchers; I think there is a lot to be said for vouchers, but I will need to elaborate when I have some more time…

Sadly, our far-left liberal friends in Congress, and the president, in this case, don’t seem to want to use common-sense. I agree with you, they seem beholden to their vision of what health care reform should be, as opposed to doing what is in the best interest of the “vast” majority of the people of this country.

In all seriousness, I really do resent the political activism, blatantly being displayed by the far-left in Congress, and in The White House, in regards to health care; and with “our” tax-dollars.

This Congressional majority also demonstrates clearly, the systemic failure of having political parties. Each time an opposing party gains power, they sprint to the finish line, attempting to pass every thing humanly possible, while they still have the majority of votes.

I wish we had no political parties, and constitutionally respecting legislators; as opposed to these self-interested law-makers of today.
