Nolan Finley raised an interesting point in his Detroit News blog regarding the health care reform plans Congress is considering.
He says that at the heart of the proposals is a MANDATE that every person buy a health insurance policy or face a stiff fine. He notes that the Wall Street Journal wrote that, if passed, it will mark the first time that individuals will be compelled to make a purchase in exchange for the right to live in this country.
What a chilling thought!
It’s worth noting that the American Civil Liberties Union has kept quiet on this issue. After all, it surely seems to have an impact on individual freedoms.
All freedom-loving Americans should be up in arms over what’s happening in Washington.
