That's what the 'mandate' to buy insurance means to me. It doesn't affect me because I have it through my employer - but just because it's not MY ox being gored doesn't mean I like it.

If I chose to dump everything and move to Alaska, buy a tract and live off the land and never see anyone again - that's my choice. But now, by my interpretation, I can be arrested if I don't buy health insurance.

AND if you recall, our President ridiculed candidate Clinton because her proposal said exactly this. He said you cant force folks to buy insurance.

Of course, this is just another lie by this man that everyone gives him a pass on and never mentions !
