Should Our Federal Government Manage Health Care?

What’s worse than Hillary Clinton talking about health care reform again?

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is unveiling a sweeping health care reform proposal Monday that would require every American to carry health insurance and offer federal subsidies to help reduce the cost of coverage.

With a price tag of about $110 billion per year, Clinton’s “American Health Choices Plan” represents her first major effort to achieve universal health coverage since 1994, when the plan she authored during her husband’s first term collapsed.

The centerpiece of Clinton’s plan is the so-called “individual mandate,” requiring everyone to have health insurance—just as most states require drivers to purchase auto insurance. Rival John Edwards has also offered a plan that includes an individual mandate, while the proposal outlined by Barack Obama does not.

Hillary Clinton talking about health care reform that is government mandated.

Yes, Hillary thinks we need a government program that monitors whether or not we have health insurance. Heck they already do that with car insurance, seatbelts, and helmets right? So why not health care.

Of course it would be silly to think that there are people out there that wouldn’t want health care, but to make it a requirement with some law is utterly ridiculous.

First they started requiring car insurance, now they want to mandate health insurance. What’s next? Government mandated ass wiping?
