Healthcare for All, Service for None

The first paragraph is our warning:

President Barack Obama says he's open to requiring all Americans to buy health insurance, as long as the plan provides a "hardship waiver" to exempt poor people from having to pay.

Many years ago, the insurance industry told lawmakers that if they would mandate seat belt usage, it would go a long way in reducing the already skyrocketing insurance rates. They did. It didn't! Now, with mandatory insurance, the insurance companies can charge any rate they want because it's MANDATORY.

Now, the federal government, or should I say, the Federal Socialists, have decided that in the interest of saving everyone, they want to make medical insurance mandatory. Worse yet, they want people to "buy into a government insurance plan.". Really? People don't like regular insurance companies. Do they really expect Americans to buy into a government-run insurance company. Why even Medicare, a government-run organization for health care, is having problems and losing money left and right. Now they want to nationalize it?

As I've said before, and I'll say it again:

Never, in the history of government, has anyone in government offices, under the direction of government officials, with the help of government entities, been able to effectively negotiate anything worthwhile!

Next, we'll have mandatory "volunteering" and mandatory "religion" and who knows what else. Hmmm, that appears to fly in the face of what our founding fathers wrote when they severed their ties with England, and the King, and the Church of England, and...and...and...oh, well, you get the picture (I HOPE!).
