Dude, The Reality Of The individual Mandate And Healthcare


"There isn't anything wrong with it, except some people look at it as an infringement upon individual freedom. But when it comes to states requiring it for automobile insurance, the principle then ought to lie the same way for health insurance, because everybody has some health insurance costs, and if you aren't insured, there's no free lunch. Somebody else is paying for it. I believe that there is a bipartisan consensus to have individual mandates." -- Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) June 14, 2009


That was over a year and a half ago, before Sen. Grassley changed his mind in a pretty quick fashion. And he made a very good point that not one person who is against the mandate will admit.....I mean the argument stops right in its tracks when I pose it....Who is going to pay for your care when you don't have the insurance or resources? ME, that's who, the American taxpayer. Those who oppose the mandate will not seriously talk about that because the truth is as plain as day.
