The biggest thing opponents of the bill have against it is the mandate. They claim that it forces people to buy insurance, and forcing people to buy something in unconstitutional. Personally, I take the opposite view, as it’s not telling people to buy a specific thing, just to have a specific type of thing, just like a part of the money we pay in taxes pays for the police and firemen who protect us, this would have us paying to ensure doctors can treat us for illness and injury.
No. Police and fire are NOT FOR PROFIT.
CAR INSURANCE AND HEALTH INSURANCE ARE FOR PROFIT. The government is forcing citizens to purchase a product from a FOR PROFIT industry. You can look at it any way you like, but that is what is happening.
