The bill takes up a couple of pages rationalizing in language straight out of old USSR double talk to justify why it is constitutional and better for the common good. The basic argument is that insurance is interstate commerce and that by not opting in you are affecting the economy of the nation because it influences the risk pool of insurance companies, and insurance is economic and most carriers (they actually said most carriers) deal in more than one state so it is interstate commerce and a good idea for all.
That sort of logic has no limit. It can be twisted to apply to almost anything. No matter who you think ought to pay for medical services, this bill is not a good thing and won't make care better or more accessible. It is a heavy cumbersome process for removing money and power from the people. What they say, and what they are doing is built on a pack of lies, with many special interests being fed with the dollars taken from the public. It may be hard to see but this is a measure which will further ensure that those locked in poverty and dependence will remain in that condition.
How do you cast out tyrants in the modern world? In the 1700's it may have been a little bit more straightforward.

Can't make comments any easier, I don't think. People are having trouble--google tries to kidnap them. I'll loosen up one more thing and let's see. Please give it a try
