Congress cannot compel you into entering a contract. 13th Amendment. United States v Reynolds. It’s “settled law”.
I think obama adminstration did away with settled law- where have you been for the past 6 months when GM shareholders bit the big banana and banks were compelled to swallow debts and nullify employee pay contracts?
and again, I am sick of yuppies and muppies who pay more for cell phone service than a health policy and then- when the unplanned happens- they show up as “uninsured Americans” who think healthcare is their right when they get sick or injured and convince stupid voters we all have to pay for their shortsightedness.
They annnoy me as much as uninsured drivers...speaking of compelled contracts...
“Congress cannot compel you into entering a contract. 13th Amendment. United States v Reynolds. It’s “settled law”.”
From what I’ve been reading, the way they compel you to get the government healthcare is that this healthcare bill not only sets up it’s plan but also dictates what Insurance Co. can & cannot do from here on out. For example you won’t be able to change your policy or add anyone, gov’t will dictate what will & won’t be covered etc. Just basically weeding out any competition so that eventually everyone will be on the gov’ts plan.
Noting your screen name, I can't help but wonder if you've so informed Mitt Romney and the MA legislature . . .
I was going to say that you are forced to have auto insurance,
but of course, you could choose not to drive.
You cannot choose not to live and have that choice make any sense.
