You think we are in debt now, wait until all the people cancel their policies and buy a Goverment plan.

Freedom:
The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
Absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government.

My lifetime's worth of medical bills would be less than $2000. I've paid cash for all of my ER visits. Why should i be forced to buy health insurance? The only answer..... to pay for everyone else. To pay for everyone's grandmother to go to the doctor 3 times a month, to pay for the guy who needs a knee replacement..... That's the only way something like this is affordable, if the people who dont use it have to pay for the people who use it a lot. I'd prefer to just take care of myself and let others do the same.

Is it the right thing to do? maybe... probably. Freedom doesnt mean the freedom to make only the decision you would make or to make the "right" decision. Bottom line is, i dont want the government making choices for me, i dont care if they make the right one or not. The largest bill i pay is taxes. My taxes are higher than any other living expense i have. I dont want to pay them to tell me how to live my life. How can you have one ounce of confidence in these idiots? They spend trillions of dollars and somewhere, in some office, there's government workers sitting around a table trying to decide if banning large drinks from mcdonalds is a good idea or a bad idea.......

we need to take power away from these morons, not continue to put our lives in their hands. The government should work for the people, not the other way around. you know who knows what the best healthcare for you is??? you. You know who knows what the best healthcare for me is? me.

Not the government.
