I thought "freedom of choice" was a hallmark of of Liberal thinking. What if someone "chooses" to not buy an insurance policy? I don't feel sorry for someone who chooses not to get insurance when it is offered at a reasonable price then sings the blues when they have a health problem and try to get insurance to pay their medical bills only to be turned down for a "pre-existing condition". Forcing young heathy people to buy in would help foot the bill for others (the whole premise for insurance to work, and part of the premise of Obamacare). It would be better accomplished without the Govt. mandating what coverage you should have, and allowing companies to offer different detailed plans from a list of different options for people to choose from. Some could be basic skeleton plans and some could be caddy plans like the ones enjoyed by union members and Govt. employees. We (the taxpayer) should pay for NO insurance for members of Congress.
