Obamacare: Healthcare at the Point of a Gun

As Mark Levin likes to say, every day Congress meets, you lose a little bit of your liberty.
A perfect case in point of this fact is the most recent version of Obama’s government run healthcare coming to shape in the Senate. This from the AP:
Under Senate health care plan, either way you pay
WASHINGTON – First you paid to insure your car. Soon you may have to add health insurance premiums to that stack of monthly bills as well.
In a revamped health care system envisioned by senators, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now. The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face fines of more than $1,000.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines would raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals.
Called “shared responsibility payments,” the fines would offset at least half the cost of basic medical coverage, according to the legislation. The goal is to nudge people to sign up for coverage when they are healthy, not wait until they get sick.
Is this what you want from your government? Government “nudging” you into “shared responsibility” at the point of the gun? Are we not free individuals? Are we not grown adults who should be left to make our own decisions about the type of coverage we want to buy, or not at all? What happens if I don’t want to buy healthcare, and I refuse to pay the huge $1000 fines? I’ll tell you what, eventually the sheriff is knocking at your door, and your either paying up, or heading to jail.
Folks, if there is one issue that we need EVERYONE to get engaged on, Obamacare is it, and it must be stopped. Any type of socialized medicine must be stopped. If we let this get rammed through, our nation will never be the same, and our best-in-class healthcare system will be destroyed… and no, I’m not over-stating the case at all.
