    You mean like the way you have to buy car insurance if you drive a car?

    The government can either take more of your money in the form of increased taxes or they can require you to buy health insurance (or take the money through a tax penalty). Does it make that much difference in what form the money leaves your pocket?

        I think it started in Greece. Turkey got involved later.

          Auto insurance is mandated by each individual state, isn't it?

          And how do folks feel about the IRS provision in the passed Obamacare bill?

            The Democrats were right! Before they passed the bill, I hated it, but now I kind of like it.

              I agree with you. That being said, how do you feel about Obama and Pelosi saying they want to (fundamentally) change America?

                    I am actually happy the USA died before April 15.

                            Romney 2012:

                            -I promise to repeal health care!
                            -I promise to stop the steady flow of trillions to fund golden parachutes!
                            -I promise to join whatever faith the people want me to!

                              EPU, you should be less concerned about the USA and more freaked out that you are starting to sound like Lifi.

                                Now that health care will no longer be affordable, Mormons will no longer be able to afford to avoid the health benefits that come from drinking a daily glass of red wine.
