If The Government Mandates Health Care Insurance In Your Opinion Will I Be A Criminal For Refusing?
By
Question: What if I have enough money to pay for any medical expenses so I don’t need health insurance, don’t work because I’m retired, and therefore don’t pay an income tax. The way its shaping up I would be charged a tax penalty for not having health care and be a criminal for not paying it. I think it’s against my rights to have to pay for health insurance simply to subsidize another persons health care. Am I living in a free country or the socialist states of America? What do you think?

The Kennedy plan proposes fines. Who knows if they will put those who don’t pay the fines in jail.
I agree with you. It should be your choice. Why should you have to pay to subsidize the health insurance of those who run to the doctor all the time for every little thing?
And I haven’t heard any catastrophe only insurance plan proposed.

Nope. If you would actually take 10 minutes and look into the proposed plans you would see that you will be able to keep your current converage if you wish.
By the way, you are already subsidizing the health care of others. People without insurance still go to hospitals. The hospitals make up the money by charging higher prices to those who visit the hospital and DO have insurance. This increase is passed to you through higher insurance rates.
Tell me, is ignorance really bliss?

If you dont take care of yourself, and I doubt you know how to, we’ll have to pay for you eventually – even when your old. So why should I pay for you to not care for yourself ? Do you want to be a free rider or a patriotic American ?
Secondly, if you pay out of pocket, and get charged a lot, that drives up the costs for everyone else, cos the health care industry knows it can overcharge people. So you drive up the cost for everyone else, including business, and make our goods less competitive internationally. Is this what you want ?
You wont be a criminal for not paying – youd just be a selfish fool.

9th Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
I think the 9th Amendment give me the right to not have health care if I don’t want it (I do want it, just not from the government).

I wonder the same thing, because I never get sick, and i doubt i will get sick, and if i get injured ill just go to the doctor and pay the bill. I never get sick anymore ever since i read kevin trudeau’s natural cures the don’t want you to know about.

Yes, and guilty of sining against the Messiah. Your only hope is to attend Rev Wrights church in exile and hope for forgiveness from the Chosen one. If questioned by members of the Obama Youth Corps, It could help your avoid prison time if you can quote from Saul Alinskys book.

Again, the government isn’t mandating health insurance, so your fear mongering is irrelevant. If you don’t want insurance, so be it.

No that don’t make you a criminal but, I hope you have a hell of a lot of money.

You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. Like your mommy tells you all the time.
