Summary
In a story on MSNBC , it clarifies some of the flaws in the proposed healthcare bills. It talks about how every American will be required to carry health insurance, rather it be medicaid, employer based insurance, or privately purchased health insurance. Yes you heard me correctly, we will be 'required'. According to the available information, the average middle class person will actually end up spending more on healthcare than the currently do. It also talks about how some of the reforms would actually cause insurance premiums for those who purchase their own, to go up.

I am one hundred percent against the government requiring me to carry health insurance. I think that I should have the right to choose. I am still fairly young, and I don't neccesarily need health insurance. I have actually compared the price of insurance premiums and deductables, against my average healthcare spending without, and it is more cost effecient for me not to have insurance. As a citizen of a 'free' country, I think I should be able to budget my healtcare dollars as I seem fit, and that is one of my major problems with a democrat administration. I am absolutely and totally one hundred percent against 'big government'. They want to pick and choose what privately owned businesses they want to bail out, they want to 'require' us to purchase health insurance rather we can afford it or not. At what point does it stop being referred to as a free country? I am quite convinced that is not what this nation's forefathers had in mind, when they wrote the constitution.

I completely agree with your response and feel the freedoms slipping away so much more strongly with this administration. One way for having liberties removed is to not be responsible such as a 16 year old getting privilages revoked because they were not responsible with the family car or curfew. I see this government thinking that all of us are not responsible so indeed they need to take over and do things for us. However they are stifling the very ones who are responsible. Thanks for the post.
